About Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park
The largest remaining stretch of Florida dry prairie survives within this preserve, an ecosystem sustained by repeated flooding and fire. The land sits next to the Kissimmee River, a headwater feeding into the Everglades watershed. The protected ground lies within that same watershed, tying the prairie directly to the larger water system to its south.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
