About Leesburg

Leesburg, Florida is a city located in Lake County, in the central part of the state. It is known for its charming downtown area, scenic lakes, and outdoor recreation opportunities. The main highways in Leesburg include U.S. Highway 441, which runs north-south through the city and connects it to other cities such as Orlando, Gainesville, and Ocala, and State Road 44, which runs east-west through the city and connects it to other cities such as Tavares, DeLand, and Deltona.

During peak hours, traffic on these highways can become congested, especially U.S. 441, which serves as a major north-south highway and is the main route for travelers.
