Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area

Tucked away in the southern reaches of Osceola County southeast of Kissimmee, the Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area spans an impressive 63,000 acres and offers a sanctuary of natural beauty and diverse ecosystems. This former cattle ranch, once a pivotal part of the last open range cattle ranching in the country, now serves as a haven for both wildlife and outdoor enthusiasts. As part of the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail, Three Lakes WMA is a paradise for bird watchers, supporting over 180 species of birds, including the highest concentration of bald eagle nests in the contiguous United States. Visitors can immerse themselves in a variety of activities such as hunting, fishing, birding, hiking, horseback riding, and bicycling, all while exploring the area’s distinct habitats, which include freshwater marshes, prairies, pine flatwoods, and hardwood hammocks. Current management efforts focus on restoring natural water regimes and protecting the plant and animal communities, ensuring the preservation of many native Florida species. With its rich history, stunning landscapes, and abundant recreational opportunities, Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
