Sumter County is home to several state and county parks to accommodate visitors. One of the most notable locations is the Dade Battlefield Historic State Park, located in Bushnell. This park draws more than 2,000 visitors each January for the reenactment of Dade's Battle. However, visitors can learn about the battle throughout the year at the visitor center, and then explore this beautiful protected land through hiking and birding. This state park is also a popular place for family reunions, weddings, and corporate events.

On the county level, visitors can set up picnics at Lake Okahumpka, launch a boat at Lake Miona Park, or fully immerse themselves in Florida’s beauty at Marsh Bend Outlet Park. These are just a few beautiful options to help you plan your trip.
