Okeechobee at a glance
What makes Okeechobee different: Billed as the 'Speckled Perch Capital of the World,' Okeechobee anchors a cattle-ranching and largemouth-bass economy on the north shore of Lake Okeechobee, home to the historic Okeechobee Livestock Market-South Florida's oldest family-run sale barn, dating to the 1930s-and the annual Speckled Perch Festival held since 1965.
