Located 84 miles northeast of Naples, Lake Okeechobee is a brilliant destination for a fun family day trip. This enormous inland lake offers outdoor enthusiasts unlimited choices for outdoor pursuits including the 109-mile Lake Okeechobee Trail for hikers and cyclists. The Okeechobee Battlefield Historic Park and the Du Puis Management Area also offer excellent hiking trails. You can take an airboat ride on the lake, visit the Herbert Hoover Dyke (which harnesses the waters of the lake) or go canoeing or kayaking along Fisheating Creek to get up close and personal with a variety of wildlife. The Sugarland Express Tour through a local sugar farm and mill is also worth adding to your itinerary.
