About Ferndale
Set along the western shore of Lake Apopka, Ferndale is a tiny rural community in Lake County known for its rare rolling hills and quiet country feel. Home to just a few hundred residents, it sits tucked between Minneola and Montverde. County Road 455 winds straight through the area, popular with local cyclists and scenic drivers for its oak canopies, historic cemetery, and sprawling pastures.
The centerpiece of local outdoor life is the Ferndale Preserve, a 192-acre park with trails for hikers, horseback riders, and mountain bikers. Its elevated ridges offer some of the best panoramic views across Lake Apopka in the region. While Ferndale intentionally keeps commercial growth minimal to protect its historic landscape, residents are only a short drive from the shops, restaurants, and schools in nearby Clermont, making it a great fit for anyone looking for acreage within reach of greater Orlando.
