Clewiston - has that perfect mix of industry and recreation to base its economy around. What better place to live than where you can work and play without driving a long distance. No wonder Clewiston is fast becoming a retirement goal for those wishing to get away from the hustle and traffic of metropolitan areas. Clewiston is one of the really great places left to raise a family, work and enjoy the natural surroundings.

Through more than a half-century of steady growth, Clewiston has kept its charm and beauty. Clewiston is very proud to have been selected as a Florida Main Street Community in 1998. Sugar, cattle, and citrus remain the leading economic forces in the town.

Several million visitors a year make Florida their destination, with at least part of their time being spent fishing. Lake Okeechobee is the number one lake in the country for people to try their luck at landing one of the many trophy size fish that grow so fast in its waters.

With 750 + square miles of water, the lake gives you plenty of areas to fish, while enjoying nature’s beauty and wildlife in peace and quiet. Bird watchers will marvel at the comeback of wading birds since the lower lake levels of the past few years brought the grass back. Clewiston has long been known to have excellent facilities to launch your boat for quick access to the very best that Lake Okeechobee has to offer.
