Lake Kissimmee State Park

Florida State Park · Lake Wales, Florida

Prairie, pine flatwoods and lake shore between three lakes in the middle of the peninsula, best known for an 1876 cow camp where interpreters work as Florida cracker cowmen — herding scrub cattle, cracking whips and refusing, in character, to acknowledge that the twentieth century happened. It is one of the more committed living history programmes in the state.

Open 8:00 a.m. until sundown, 365 days a year. THE 1876 COW CAMP OPERATES WEEKENDS ONLY and mainly in the cooler months.
