About this service areaAbout Pahokee
Pahokee's name comes from the Seminole word Pay-ha-o-kee, meaning “grassy waters,” and the settlement developed on the southeastern shore of Lake Okeechobee. A high ridge protected its farms from a 1917 frost, attracting growers after the West Palm Beach Canal opened; Pahokee incorporated in 1922.

Paul Rardin Park has a County-listed boat launch with access to Lake Okeechobee, alongside other public recreation amenities.

Questions from businesses in Pahokee
How should a Pahokee business describe a service involving equipment or pickup?
Tell customers where the handoff takes place, what they should bring, and how to schedule. Do not assume a public boat-launch location is part of your business's service.
Can I add Lake Okeechobee or Paul Rardin Park to my page?
Mention a public place only when it genuinely helps explain your service or directions. Link to the County for facility information and keep your own address and appointment details clear.
What should a Pahokee business do before building more location pages?
Make sure each page answers a different customer need and lists an area the business really serves. One useful, accurate page is better than several versions with only a place name changed.
