Tavares is known as 'America's Seaplane City' for a reason. The first recorded seaplane flight was off the shores of Lake Eustis on February 23, 1914. Piloted by Tony Janus, the first licensed airline pilot in the world.
Welcome to Squibb Park! This is a passive park comprised of 122 acres of pristine Florida habitat. Not much here except for a small boardwalk and a lot serenity. Free parking available.
You seek Tony's airboat. Located in a section of the park that can be wet at times. Don't worry, it floats. Good luck and happy hunting!
