Okeechobee Battlefield, National Historic Landmark battlefield in Okeechobee, Florida.
The Okeechobee Battlefield spans 440 acres of land on the east side of Taylor Creek, featuring a low hummock that served as a defensive position during combat.
The Battle of Lake Okeechobee took place on Christmas Day 1837, involving over 1,000 U.S. military forces against several hundred Seminole and Miccosukee warriors.
The battlefield stands as a memorial to both U.S. military forces and Native American warriors who engaged in a significant conflict during the Second Seminole War.
Visitors can access the Okeechobee Battlefield Historic State Park from Wednesday through Sunday between 8 AM and 5 PM without paying an entrance fee.
The battlefield terrain included sawgrass reaching heights of 6 feet, which influenced military strategies and movements during the engagement.
