How to get to Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park
The preserve sits in rural Okeechobee County, about 45 minutes north of the city of Okeechobee and roughly two hours from Orlando, West Palm Beach, and Fort Myers. Access is via Peavine Road, a long unpaved county road, so RVers should drive slowly and watch for washboarding, potholes, and standing water after heavy rain. There are no mountain passes or tunnels, but low-clearance bridges and narrow rural roads on the approach warrant caution for larger rigs. Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the most convenient option for fly-and-rent travelers.
