With bass fishing, birding, bicycling, and hiking trails along the western shore of Lake Okeechobee, Glades County is a gateway to the ancient Everglades, the liquid heart of South Central Florida. Defined by its rivers and lakes, it’s the home of Fisheating Creek, a delight for paddlers with a 52-mile canoe and kayak run through landscapes from Florida’s past, and shares the shorelines of the Caloosahatchee River, a favorite for sailboats en route from Fort Pierce to Fort Myers, and the Kissimmee River, where fishing guides can show you the sweet spots.
