DIRECTIONS:

 

  • I-95 north to the “Beeline Highway” (Blue Heron exit).
  • Go west thru Indiantown to Okeechobee where it dead-ends.
  • Make a left to go west on  I-70 past Sebring to Arcadia. About ½ through town, look for I-17.
  • Go north about 7 miles to Brownville Rd. then go west about 2 miles.
  • The park is on the left with a BIG sign just before a bridge that goes over the Peace River!

 

There are camp sites, picnic table, bathrooms with showers (it is well water so doesn’t smell great) but no drinking water.

 

There is a concrete ramp for canoes, etc. and paths to other accesses to the river.

 

It is still quite low and cool but these next two months are the BEST times!

Hope to see you there!
