Set in western Palm Beach County near Belle Glade, Florida on the southern shores of Lake Okeechobee; Torry Island offers a little of everything for everyone. Anglers and boaters enjoy direct boating access to "America's Bass Fishing Captial of the World" that only the Island can offer. Bird watching, hiking, biking, and 3 recreational walking nature trails will excite any wildlife enthusiast! The Island offers a campground, floating docks, a pavillion, and an amphitheater for outdoor concerts which make it a great choice for the BBQ Festival!
Here is a great video tour of Torry Island, the campground, and surrounding areas by Great Day Travels Channel on YouTube.
