Going to be staying here soon, near Sebring FL.
Anyone have any opinions of the park, or ideas on what to do near there?
All opinions greatly appreciated.

Sure. It is one of our favorite state parks. In the park, take the drive around the loop at sunset, remain quiet and you will see a large amount of wildlife, including deer feeding. Also go to the CCC museum in the park. As the CCC built so many parks, including Highlands, it is very interesting. If the on site restaurant is open, go for breakfast. Decent meal, decent price.

If the tram is running in the park, go. It is very interesting, narrated by a park ranger that will have a lots of info, and you probably will get to see a gator or two.

Outside the park is a lake with a road completely around the lake. Nice drive. You can go down to Sebring raceway. Even if they are not racing, they may be testing some race cars there, very interesting to watch.

I'm sure there is lots more that I have missed.

This will give you a start.
