Highlands County is home to a wide variety of natural vistas and cultural attractions, from peaceful paddling along the region's many rivers and creeks, to high-octane action at the Sebring International Raceway. There is no shortage of ways to find your niche or discover something new, even long after you've decided to make the Highlands your home!

The TDC and Visit Sebring is an award winning organization that is Highlands County’s tourism outreach department. They promote and sponsor many of the local events enjoyed by residents and visitors. It’s a great resource to find out where local activities are before you buy your next home. You may want to be near a particular golf course, lake, park or bicycle trails.
