About This Access Site
Summerall Park in Tavares offers convenient access to the Dora Canal, the scenic waterway connecting Lake Eustis and Lake Dora. The park features a well-maintained concrete boat ramp with a small floating dock, ideal for launching kayaks, canoes, and small boats. You'll be on the water within 250 feet of launch. The facility is free to use and includes parking, bathroom facilities, and picnic areas overlooking the canal.
**Note for paddlers:** The Dora Canal is a popular tourist destination with frequent large pontoon tour boats passing through. Keep to the shoreline to avoid traffic and stay alert for wakes. The park entrance can be easy to miss—keep right when approaching on Wells Avenue (1001 Wells Avenue, Tavares, FL 32778) to ensure you find the access point. This is an excellent launch option for exploring the calm, scenic waters of this inter-lake connector.
