Welcome to Glades County! Located in the greater Everglades ecosystem and bordering the colossal Lake Okeechobee, Glades county offers multiple opportunities to adventure into the wild and a heap of other fun things to do.
At the Harney Pond Park, bring your boat or jet ski and enjoy a day out on Lake Okeechobee, or walk along the pier and bring your fishing gear. Additionally, the park has access to the Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail, a 106-mile route that is perfect for walking or biking. Afterwards, camp beneath the stars and rent canoes at the Fisheating Creek Outpost. One mile north of Fisheating Creek, is the city of Palmdale, where you can get your hearts racing at Gatorama, by getting an up-close view of alligators, snakes, crocodiles, and more exotic animals. Next, visit the Palmdale Horse Club for a serene horseback ride through the woods.
As one can see, Glades County provides many opportunities for everyone to explore their interests to the fullest. One can choose to live near the water at Lake Okeechobee or in a secluded oasis surrounded by a field of green. Either way, you are never a very long drive to bigger cities such as, Sebring and Labelle.
