Everglades
Spanning the southern tip of the Florida peninsula and most of Florida Bay, Everglades National Park is the only subtropical preserve in North America. At first glance, much of the Everglades looks like inviting prairie that visitors could easily hike through on a nice day. But looks are deceiving. Most of this plain is actually a shallow, gently flowing river, hidden beneath the tall sawgrass and reeds. Many who appreciate the unique qualities of this wilderness will argue that it is a place better kept secret. There are a variety of activities for visitors to enjoy such as hiking, bird watching, canoe trips, fishing , boating, nature talks, tram tours, demonstrations and campfire programs. All the information you need is available at the Main Visitors Center located at the entrance to the park.
