Babson Park

Babson Park lies south of Lake Wales in the southeastern part of Polk County's populated ridge corridor. The official visitor bureau places it along the Ridge Scenic Highway, giving the community a distinct geographic context within inland Central Florida.

Nearby Crooked Lake Prairie and Crooked Lake Sandhill are highlighted for their walking landscapes and lake views. These natural areas, together with the neighboring communities of Hillcrest Heights and Crooked Lake Park, help define the wider setting without making every property lakefront.
