Campers come to Aruba RV Resort mostly for its location on Lake Okeechobee, which is one of South Central Florida's major attractions. Resting in the middle of the state, this lake got its name from the Indian words "Okee," meaning big, and "Chobee", meaning water, according to Aruba RV Resort's website. The lake is known by fishers for its impressive population of bass, speckle perch, bluegill, and it's known by hunters for its duck population. Hikers and cyclists can enjoy the Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail, opened in 1993, while watching for bald eagles, egrets, owls, alligators, bobcats and other forms of wildlife.
