If you are a freshwater fishermen this is the place! There are 87 lakes in Highlands County and they are just loaded with large-mouth bass, speckled perch, shell crackers, brim and catfish. Lake Istokpoga is the largest, followed by lakes June, Placid and Jackson. The Kissimmee River, many creeks and canals are also available for fishing. It is also approximately 50 miles to Lake Okeechobee known nationwide for its great fishing. There are also many opportunities to fish from the banks and shore line if you do not own a boat.
The following teams hold Spring training in Florida: Tampa Bay Rays, New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves, Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, Florida Marlins, Houston Astros,Minnesota Twins, New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates, St. Louis Cardinals, Toronto Blue Jays and the Washington National’s. No matter where you are from there’s a good chance that your favorite baseball team is training here in sunny Florida. The majority of these teams train with in a 1 1/2 hour drive from Hammock Estates.
Just step out of the park and across Hammock Road is the Lake Jackson bicycle and walking trail. This trail is fully paved and goes West approximately 3 miles to Highlands Hammock State Park. One of Florida’s best state parks. If you go East about 1 mile you come to Lake Jackson, here the trail goes completely around the lake. This takes you by the South Side Shopping Center, downtown Sebring with its shops on the circle, the Civic Center and the Sebring public library. If you go completely around the lake it’s about a 11 mile trip, give or take a mile or so. This is a very pleasant trip on a bike or walking and you can do as much or as little as you like.
Just one block East of Hammock Estates is the Sebring YMCA with its pool and exercise facilities. There are several leagues that play here, Senior softball, Adult softball and numerous youth leagues. Along with the softball fields there are also soccer field.
If you are a golfer you should have no problem finding a course to play. I recently counted 17 of them in the area. During the season there are Ladie’s & Men’s groups here in the park that play every Wednesday. At other time it’s never very hard to find someone willing to play a round or so.
