The Florida Trail runs right through “America’s Sweetest Town” on the south shore of Lake Okeechobee. Established as a company town for sugar refineries in the 1930s, Clewiston is one of the most productive agricultural regions in the country, with vast acreage in citrus, ranching, vegetable farming, and sugar cane. The Clewiston Museum, Sugarland Tours, and the Clewiston Inn – a circa 1938 National Historic Site with fine lodging and dining - offer insights into the region’s history.
