At the Ortona Indian Mound Park, walk through part of a village complex from three thousand years ago and along canoe canals built by ancient peoples not far from the Caloosahatchee River along Turkey Creek. This site was first discovered in 1839, and has been carbon-dated to A.D. 300, the same period as when the Miami Circle was built. It is thought that the civilization that lived here was related to the Calusa.

A kiosk with interpretive information helps to orient you to the cultures that lived here and to follow the trails around the site. At 22 feet, the primary temple mound is the highest point in Glades County. Dispersed across 5 square miles, the overall complex is one of the largest pre-Colombian sites in Florida.

The park is located along SR 78, west of US 27 and east of SR 29, and includes a picnic pavilion and restrooms.
