Things to Do in Glades County and on the Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail

The pleasures here are simple and mostly outdoors: a morning on the lake with a bass guide, a day in a canoe on Fisheating Creek, a bike ride along the Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail on top of the dike, or an evening at a rodeo. The trail runs right around the lake, so Glades County is one of several places to join it; the Moore Haven and Lakeport stretches are among the quietest.

Each area below lists the places worth knowing. Online-bookable tours are rare in this part of Florida, so most fishing guides, airboat rides and outfitters are booked directly or through our trip-quote service.
