The road to get to the park was long and I will say, I felt disappointed when I arrived at Okeechobee Battlefield. I thought I was lost, at first, as I drove through a neighborhood but then I arrived at the field. I wandered around for minutes, read the plaque and hit the road. I wish I was more of a history buff but I am not and this park was completely lost on me. Maybe one day I will mature enough to appreciate it. I mean at least they have preserved the land & not let a housing development be built on it.
Before you visit, make sure you check out the parks website for all of the up-to-date park information: https://www.floridastateparks.org/parks-and-trails/okeechobee-battlefield-historic-state-park
