Lake Kissimmee is a massive 34,948-acre lake on the 56-mile long Kissimmee Waterway. One of the best ways to enjoy the lake's lush flora, fauna, and stunning vistas is by taking one of Lake Kissimmee State Park's 13 miles of wonderful hiking and nature trails. The trails weave their way through pine flatwoods and oak hammocks, through the marshes, and along the winding shore, where every bend in the trail brings a new, even more beautiful view. Fishing on the lake is first class, with schools of bluegill, chain pickerel, catfish, crappie, and largemouth bass swimming just under the surface. You can launch a boat from the park or just fish from a canal bank,or by the dam. Any time you are out by the water, you might spot a white-tailed deer, bald eagles, and even an occasional bobcat.
