The area northwest of Lake Okeechobee is known as Florida's Heartland. Citrus groves, farm fields, and cattle ranches cover this area. There are quaint and historic towns like Arcadia, Avon Park and Wauchula along the route with excellent opportunities for dining and sightseeing. Highlands Hammock State Park is one of the state's oldest and Lake Placid's business district has more than 40 murals depicting everything from dinosaurs to the Last Supper.
