Lake Kissimmee State Park

Immerse yourself in Florida’s rich cowboy heritage at Lake Kissimmee State Park. With its cow camp living history site, you can see this little-known part of the state’s past come to life before your eyes. When you’re done watching cowboys on horseback, explore their historic stomping grounds on 13 miles of trails. If you want to go all-in on the experience, six miles of the trail system are open to horses. Alternatively, take in the scenery from the water on a paddling and fishing voyage through the park’s three lakes. With Orlando and Lake Buena Vista just to the north, this is the perfect home base for a theme-park excursion.

Inside Lake Kissimmee State Park

If you're coming to Lake Kissimmee State Park from late fall to late spring, make sure to check out the historic demonstrations at the park’s Cow Camp; there, you can watch cowboys on horseback and see what life was like on the job in 1876. The rest of the park also has plenty to offer. Explore 13 miles of trails on foot or horseback; if you’re interested in wildlife, bring binoculars to spot the bald eagles, turkeys, and bobcats that live in the wilderness. The park is also home to the Buster Island Paddling Trail, which takes you through Lake Kissimmee, Lake Rosalie, and Tiger Lake. Rent canoes and kayaks in the park or bring your own to the two different launch points.
