Hendry County is located directly under Glades County and borders the southwest corner of Lake Okeechobee. As a result of most of the land remaining undeveloped, scenic car rides through winding roads make for the perfect escape.
Things to do in Hendry County include nature reserves, museums, and water sports. In Clewiston, Hendry County’s biggest city, one of the best things to do is visit the Big Cypress Reservation, where their goal is to preserve, respect and educate others about wildlife and the Seminole Native American tribe. At the reserve, you can’t miss the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum to travel back in time and learn more about Seminole culture. Other things to do in Clewiston include paragliding, skydiving, and air boat tours! West of Lake Okeechobee is the city of Labelle. Once a popular spot for cattle herding and farming in the 1800s, the city has retained its warm southern charm through the generations. In Labelle, set up camp on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River at Riverside Retreat campgrounds or camp in style at the Labelle Woods RV Resort.
Hendry County is the perfect blend of calm and quiet country living, mixed in with all the modern amenities the rest of Florida has to offer. Large cities such as Cape Coral and the beautiful soft sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico are a short commute away. Discover your forever home today in Hendry County, Florida!
