At
345 feet (105 m) above mean sea level,
Britton Hill is the highest point
in Florida and the lowest highpoint
of any U.S. state. Contrary to popular
belief, however, Florida is not entirely
"flat." Some places, such
as Clearwater, feature vistas that
rise 50 to 100 feet (15–30 m)
above the water. Much of the interior
of Florida, typically 25 miles (40
km) or more away from the coastline,
features rolling hills with elevations
ranging from 100 to 250 feet (30–76
m) in many locations. Lake County
holds the highest point of peninsular
Florida, Sugarloaf Mountain, at 312
feet (95 m).
