Lake Okeechobee (US: /oʊkiˈtʃoʊbi/oh-kee-CHOH-bee)[1] is the largest freshwater lake in the U.S. state of Florida.[2] It is the tenth-largest natural freshwater lake among the 50 states of the United States and the second-largest natural freshwater lake contained entirely within the contiguous 48 states, after Lake Michigan.[3]
Okeechobee covers 730 square miles (1,900 km2) and is exceptionally shallow for a lake of its size, with an average depth of only 9 feet (2.7 metres). It is not only the largest lake in Florida or the largest lake in the southeast United States, but it is too large to see across.[4] The Kissimmee River, located directly north of Lake Okeechobee, is the lake's primary source.[5] The lake is divided between Glades, Okeechobee, Martin, Palm Beach and Hendry counties. All five counties meet at one point near the center of the lake.[6]
