Lake Okeechobee is the state of Florida’s largest freshwater lake. It is among the largest natural freshwater lakes in the United States and is ideal for fishing and water recreation. Okeechobee, a city deriving its name from the lake, is a popular tourist destination where locals and tourists can enjoy fishing, boating, and hiking. The fishing season lasts from October to March, and the lake hosts numerous fishing tournaments including Speckled Perch Festival annually. If you decide to spend a weekend at Okeechobee, you can also spend your time riding a horse through the wild nature of Florida or having exciting adventures on a boat. You can walk through parks such as Flagler Park and Centennial park - the latter has a playground, too.
