Okeechobee Attractions

Florida is blessed with some great lakes, but none are as impressive as the greatest of all, Lake Okeechobee – Seminole for 'Big Water!' Murals reflecting Okeechobee's history can be found throughout town, with one standing out in particular. In 1996, artist John Gutcher painted a larger-than-life mural, about half a football field long, celebrating the heritage of Seminoles and settlers.

On any given day boaters are setting sail, fishermen are casting lines and nets, and sightseers hang around at the picturesque pier for a closer look at the glistening water. For an entirely different perspective, hop on an Eaglebay Airboat Ride and glide the waters of the lake. Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail is a 109-mile paved path encircling the lake and is enjoyed by hikers, joggers, and bicyclists.

The Big 'O', as it is fondly called, is what the locals call "Real Florida." These are just a few of the adventures that can be found here. Our friendly front desk team stands by to guide you on your way as you explore Lake Okeechobee!
