Find a Park

Established in 1931 and developed later by Florida’s Civilian Conservation Corps, the lush and incredibly diverse 9,000 acre Highlands Hammock State Park is a refuge for endangered animals and ancient flora. With its beautiful old-growth hammock and variety of habitats and wildlife species, this is the Real Florida at its best.

Florida's cowboy heritage comes alive with living history demonstrations of the early Florida "cow hunters" in an 1876-era cow camp. White-tailed deer, bald eagles, sandhill cranes, turkeys and bobcats have been seen in the park, located on the shores of lakes Kissimmee, Tiger and Rosalie.
