Directions and Factoids
Directions: The project office is located approximately 65 miles west of West Palm Beach, and 65 miles east of Fort Myers, FL.
From W. Palm Beach: Take US-98 heading west, which becomes US-441 North. Take 441N to FL-80 West, which becomes US-27 North. US-27 will take you to Clewiston.
From Ft. Myers: Take FL-80 East to US-27 South. Follow US-27 into Clewiston.
Factoid: As lake, waterway and surrounding countryside, Okeechobee shows the many faces of Florida.
A canopy of moss-draped live oaks hides clusters of sabal palms. A tangle of water plants
marks the boundary where wetland meets lakeshore. A lone alligator suns on a riverbank in a
deceptively calm moment. Wild birds take flight in a sudden explosion of motion. Between
the muted pastels of dawn and the brilliant display of sunset, Okeechobee is for all who
love the outdoors.
