Review content:
One of Florida´s oldest parks, opening to the public in 1931, this park was established when local citizens came together to promote the hammock as a candidate for national park status. During the Great Depression, just prior to World War II, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) developed additional park facilities and the beginnings of a botanical garden. Many visitors enjoy bicycling the scenic 3–mile loop drive or hiking along the park´s nine trails. An elevated boardwalk traverses an old–growth cypress swamp. For equestrians, there is an 11–mile, day–use trail. Picnicking is another popular activity as are ranger–guided tours of the park. Highlands Hammock offers a full–facility campground, as well as a youth/group tent campground. A full–service restaurant is located on the park grounds. For schedule and catering information, call (863) 385–7025. A recreation hall is available for rental, as are several picnic pavilions. A museum showcasing the history of the CCC is open 9:30 a.m.– 3:30 p.m.
Hours of Operation
Florida state parks are open from 8 a.m. until sundown 365 days a year.
Driving Directions
Highlands Hammock State Park is located off US 27 on SR 634 (also known as Hammock Road), four miles west of Sebring.
Don't miss the tram ride. One of the park rangers narrates this tour of the park. The best time to see animals is early evening.
