Windermere is located on a narrow strip of land surrounded by Lake Butler, Lake Down, and Lake Bessie. One hundred years ago, visionaries such as Cal Palmer, J. Howard Johnson, Howard Lyon, and Stanley Scott played key roles in incorporating our beautiful town. Over the past century, Windermere has experienced significant growth and development, establishing itself as a thriving community while maintaining the charm of its dirt roads and lake shores. 

 

Join us in celebrating Windermere’s Centennial by signing up for the 2025 Run Among the Lakes!

 

This scenic run takes participants through Windermere’s dirt roads, passing under a canopy of century-old oaks and along our lakes. This family-friendly event benefits the Town of Windermere Parks and Recreation.
