Hendry County combines wide-open landscapes, welcoming river towns, and a deep agricultural heritage. In labelle, oak-canopied streets lead to local eateries and weekend festivals, while clewiston leans into its “America’s Sweetest Town” moniker with lakefront access and community traditions. With the Caloosahatchee River flowing west and Lake Okeechobee just to the east, anglers, paddlers, and birders enjoy year-round recreation, and residents stay plugged in through the Hendry County government for parks, services, and events.
Sunrise brings quiet miles on the Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail, and a short drive south opens up world-class wildlife viewing, paddling, and off-grid camping in the Big Cypress National Preserve. Cultural depth runs strong, too—learn Seminole history and art at the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum, or celebrate local roots each spring at the Clewiston Sugar Festival, a favorite for live music and food.
Families benefit from the Hendry County District Schools, with a close-knit feel and programs that connect students to agriculture, technology, and the outdoors. Healthcare is anchored by Hendry Regional Medical Center, and commuting is straightforward, with career and cultural options in fort myers to the west and west palm beach to the east.
