Manager's Message
Cooler weather has arrived at Lake Kissimmee State Park. As the days grow
shorter visitors are still enjoying some great fishing on Lake Kissimmee, while
others are hiking on our 15 miles of trails or experiencing the real Florida on
weekends and holidays at our 1876 cow camp. Have a chat with our cow hunter and
see what life was like before A/C and automobiles.
Right now is a perfect time for camping. Lake Kissimmee’s campground is starting
to get busy so make your reservations NOW so you don’t miss out on everything
this park has to offer.
- Andy Noland, Park Manager
