What Makes Lakewood Ranch Different
Lakewood Ranch uniquely includes conservation areas that span thousands of acres of wetlands and other natural Florida landscapes in which seven community-oriented villages of work, live, and play spaces are carefully mapped out. In fact, Lakewood Ranch has done such an excellent job of interspersing man-made areas with natural ones that it now boasts of being the largest green master-planned community in the United States.
Residents and neighbors alike can enjoy running, hiking, biking, or otherwise wandering along over 150-miles of trails along lakes, parks, and other natural preservation areas. Bring out your canoe or boat and enjoy a lazy Saturday fishing and boating on Heron Lake and Summerfield Lake. Those with a more adventurous side will enjoy Lakewood Ranch's exciting inline skating track, sports fields (including one purposed for horse polo), gun club and range, and gorgeous golf course.
