Lake County 437 / Orange County 437

Orange County 437 exists as a sparsely unsigned route from Ocoee northward to central Apopka. Following Ocoee-Apopka Road, Orange County 437 begins at the intersection with Florida 437 & 438 (Silver Star Road) and leads north toward eastern Lake Apopka. The route turns west on Binion Road at the beginning of Orange County 437A, near its interchange with Florida 429 Toll. Binion Road meanders around the periphery of the lake to Orange Avenue in Apopka, ending at U.S. 441 (Orange Blossom Trail).

North of U.S. 441 (Orange Blossom Trail), Plymouth Sorrento Road represents former Orange County 437 through to the Lake County line. The two-lane road undulates over slow rolling hills dotted with nurseries and a handful of farms. Lake County 437 remains in use between Orange County and Sorrento (Florida 46) and Sorrento to Lake County 44A.
