Hendry County, Florida
Don’t expect glitzy beaches or theme parks in Hendry County. This inland section of Florida is all about agriculture and wide-open spaces. LaBelle, the county seat, sits on the Caloosahatchee River.
Sugar cane fields stretch as far as the eye can see. Clewiston, known as “America’s Sweetest Town”, is home to the U.S. Sugar Corporation. You’ll find more tractors than tourists here.
Fishing’s popular on Lake Okeechobee, which forms part of the county’s northern border. Airboat rides are a big draw for tourists looking for gator sightings. The county also has a rich history tied to Seminole Indians and early settlers.
