Lake Kissimmee State Park
Fishing and boating on the surrounding lakes of Lake Kissimmee, Tiger Lake and Lake Rosalie bring day visitors and overnight guests to Lake Kissimmee State Park, east of Lake Wales. Campsites have electric and water suitable for tent or RV use. Two additional campsites allow primitive campers to pitch a tent along the miles of hiking trails running throughout the park. A cow camp is garrisoned during the cooler months of the year, allowing insight into the life of late 19th century settlers of central Florida. The park also features equestrian trails, a playground, boat ramp, picnic areas and marina. Leashed pets are permitted.

Lake Wales Ridge State Forest
Twenty miles of the Florida National Scenic Trail run through Lake Wales Ridge State Forest, southeast of Lake Wales. Miles of additional trails ensure hikers a multitude of options as they explore the scrub forests where Florida scrub jays and red-shouldered hawks maintain watch. Primitive camping is permitted within the park with a permit from the forestry office and full-facility camping can be found at Lake Arbuckle Park and Campground, a county park near the Arbuckle Tract of the forest.
