Hiking
Hike along the Herbert Hoover Dike, a 143-mile earthen dam going around Lake Okeechobee and out to the Kissimmee-Okeechobee-Everglades system. The Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail (LOST) circles Lake Okeechobee, spanning 110 miles. This trail was designated as part of the Florida National Scenic Trail in 1993, and more than half of it is now paved.
