Flowing adjacent to Arcadia, the 105-mile Peace River features fast-flowing water best for boating rather than swimming—a chartered airboat is a great way to explore. In August and September, though, water levels are lower and swimming is possible in shallower areas. The Northern Watershed area (known as Bone Valley) is a popular place for fossil digging, too. Find a waterfront campground nearby, and keep an eye out for alligators, turtles, and native birds. You can also explore different options for camping near Arcadia on Hipcamp.
