| Location: Lake Kissimmee State Park is located off S.R. 60, 15 miles east of Lake Wales, FL. |
|
| Description: Florida's cowboy heritage comes alive with living history demonstrations of the early Florida "cow hunters" in an 1876-era cow camp, open 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. weekends and holidays. White-tailed deer, bald eagles, sandhill cranes, turkeys, and bobcats have been seen in the park, located on the shores of lakes Kissimmee, Tiger, and Rosalie. Visitors enjoy boating, canoeing, and fishing in the picturesque lakes. Nature students can hike over 13 miles of trails to observe and study the abundant plant and animal life. |
|
| Personal Notes: Only a couple of trips to this park so far, but I will return. In a couple of hours I saw alligators, fox squirrel, sandhill cranes, multiple turkeys strutting, gopher tortoise, hawks, and a family with 6 baby racoons. |
