Okeechobee County sits on the north shore of Lake Okeechobee, Florida's largest freshwater lake, with the city of Okeechobee as its county seat. Cattle ranches, pastureland and the Kissimmee River shape the landscape, and the Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail atop the Herbert Hoover Dike offers wide water views. US 441, US 98 and SR 70 connect the area. Homes include lakeside and canal-front properties, rural acreage and in-town residences.
