Okeechobee - Waters Edge


After leaving Melbourne, we drove down to Lake Okeechobee to spend a few days.  Waters Edge Motorcoach Resort is a Passport America Park but they only had availablity for 3 nights.  Silver Palms RV Resort had a special of $99 for 3 nights.  So we ended up staying at Waters Edge the first 3 nights and Silver Palms the last 3 nights.

Waters Edge is a small but beautiful park with sites that have brick paver pads and are surrounded by palm trees and landscaping. 

 
The resort is located on the rim canal surrounding Lake Okeechobee and they have a large shelter with picnic tables and lounge chairs right on the edge of the rim canal...a perfect location to fish...






and just sit and watch the scenery and wildlife.





They also had a nice paved bike trail along the rim canal.  We took our bikes to a place where we could cross the canal and went for about a 10 mile bike ride one afternoon.

 
At one point, we could see across the canal to where we were camped.  (You can see from these pictures what a nice resort it is.)


 
Waters Edge was a great place to do nothing.  We enjoyed sitting outside watching the occasional lizard running up and down the palm trees.

 
This lizard was huge!

 
Just kidding!  The lizards were not as big as they appear in these pictures.  They were only about 5 or 6 inches long.

 
Chuck fished some right before sunset.

 

I just enjoyed taking pictures of the birds...


and the sunset....

 
....hmmmmm..... nice.  :)
