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.
