Lake Okeechobee, Hendy and Glades County, Florida
Okeechobee County is located in south central Florida and is named for the great lake that it borders. The primary industry is agriculture. The farms produce a bounty of winter vegetable crops due to the rich organic soils of the region. Lake Okeechobee is the largest U.S. lake without a natural outlet and is very shallow, with an average depth measuring only 14 feet. Commercial fishermen fish the lake year-round, and the bass, specs and other fish entice sports fishermen. Besides agriculture and dairying, Okeechobee County has very little industry of any size. It is home to resident wildlife and plants supported by the unique ecosystem surrounding the "Big Lake."
