We saw much wildlife, including many deer, beautiful tropical birds, and other animals, like cows. The riding is in a Flofida water management Hammock, with incredible oak tree cover, so for 90% of the ride, one is shaded from the hot sun. Perhaps the best part of the trip was the magnificent trees, some 500 or 600 years old! Michelle will take good care of you. Get her to talk, she's got some terrific stories.

The park has…read morea public boat dock, a fishing pier where you can catch large mouth bass and bluegill, a playground, basketball court, boardwalk, and a beach. The park also contains a clubhouse that can be rented for private events. The swimming area is open between Memorial Day and Labor Day. This is the second lake beach I have found in the Sebring area. I have always heard that if you swim in lakes in Florida you can get the brain eating Naegleria fowleri amoeba. When water gets up your nose it travels to your brain which is almost always fatal. There have been 37 reported cases in Florida since 1962. Peak times to get it are July through September. I am not sure if they test the water here or if you are supposed to know about it and only wade. Also it seems like a possibility that there are alligators in this lake. The water looked inviting but I think I would stick to the boardwalk.

People who visit Lake Okeechobee for the first time might be surprised to find that you can't…read morereally see it from the road. The Hurricane of 1928 caused the lake's dike to fail, resulting in catastrophic flooding and the loss of life. There are several mass burial sites of hurricane victims in the area. To protect the people who live around the lake, in the 1930's the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began constructing the Herbert Hoover Dike to prevent future flooding disasters. The dike was completed in the 1960s and serves to protect the surrounding communities from lake overflow. Consequently you need to find access roads that take you up to the lake in order to see it. One such favorite scenic spot to see the largest fresh water lake in Florida is in Lake Okeechobee Park. Through the years this park has been known as Jaycee Park, Lock 7, Lakefront Park, and Parrott Avenue Wayside. The park has been officially renamed Clif J. Betts Jr. Lakeside Recreation Area for a county commissioner who helped guide planning for county parks before his death in 2011. The highlight of this park is a 400 foot fishing pier which I enjoyed for the views of the lake and the birds but which is loved by anglers who fish for large mouth bass and speckled perch. Other park amenities include paved parking, picnic tables, and restrooms with potable water. Hikers and cyclists can access to the Florida Trail/Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail on the dike up above the recreation area. To reach it use the entrance road or the paved path behind the restrooms. If you head east you can travel three miles to Taylor Creek and if you head west you can travel four miles to Okee-Tantie.
