Taylor Creek Storm Water Treatment Area. Nice walk, or bike ride. Should be an easy find.

Camoed pill bottle


This is a beautiful area to visit. We saw 4 deer the day we put the cache out. Always check across the fence in the area of the cache. There are usually some deer or turkeys to see. Especially if you're there early in the A.M. or late in the evening. If you enjoy bird watching, there is all kinds of birds to see. Might want to keep an eye out for gators, they love to sun themselves on the banks, and boat ramps!

Get one of the information pamphlets from the kiosk on your way in. It helps to explain how the STA functions.

STA Info:The Taylor Creek STA is located about 2 miles north of the city of Okeechobee. It is bordered on the east by US 441 and by Taylor Creek on the west. The site is approximately 200 acres and the STA has a treatment area of 142 acres. An inflow pump station lifts water from Taylor Creek at the north end of the STA. Treatment occurs through natural biogeochemical processes as the water slowly flows by gravity southeasterly through the 49-acre Cell 1 and subsequently through the 93-acre Cell 2 before being discharged back into Taylor Creek, just upstream of US 441. Water levels and flow rates through the treatment cells are controlled by individual gated structures located at the southerly end of each cell.
