Experience an old-fashioned, tractor-pulled Hayride at Westgate River Ranch that takes you into the beautiful, 7,000-acre KICCO Wildlife Management Area (KICCO stands for “Kissimmee Island Cattle Company), which runs along the Kissimmee River. View wildlife as you are entertained by the talents of a singing cowboy who belts out such classics as Jimmy Buffett’s “Margaritaville” and Merle Haggard’s “Okie from Muskogee” (as well as providing interesting trivia about the KICCO Wildlife Management Area) during your 45-minute hayride adventure! A 13-mile portion of the 1,400-mile Florida Trail (officially known as the Florida National Scenic Trail) winds its way through the area. As its name implies, the KICCO Wildlife Management Area is home to abundant wildlife such as white-tailed deer, bald eagles, wild hogs, hawks, sandhill cranes, wading birds, alligators and wild turkeys. Enjoy a family-style country buffet – that includes barbecue chicken, hotdogs, corn on the cob, baked potatoes, baked beans and iced tea – at the East Corral and, of course, don’t forget to toast marshmallows over the campfire for dessert! Admission is $20 for adults and $12.95 for children (prices subject to change). Private hayrides and cookouts are available for groups any day of the week with advance reservations (prices differ from public hayrides and cookouts).
