Everglades National Park
Everglades National Park is the largest subtropical ecosystem in the continental U.S.
It includes large areas of diverse habitats, fresh and salt water, Everglades prairies,
and patches of scruffy mangroves. Hiking trails lead through hammocks of vegetation,
marshes and even lush pine forests.

There are several different trails totaling hundreds of miles. Boating, fishing, canoeing, and camping are
also available. The park is a great place to observe Florida wildlife.
It is inhibited by a few dozen of Florida panthers, the remains of a much larger population living on the
Florida peninsula up to the 20th century.
Much larger than the bobcat, the panther needs more territory to roam and to find its prey.

In the north part of the park you can take a two-hour tram
tour to an observation tower, where you can watch
alligators, turtles, fishes, and large numbers of birds
like egrets, ibises, and herons.
In the western part of the park you will get a chance to
see manatees, dolphins, sting rays and sharks, but you
do need a boat or canoe to access this side of the park.
The best time to visit the Everglades is from November
to April.
Part of this park sustained major damage during
Hurricanes Wilma and Katrina and many areas were
destroyed.
Check at any of the six visitor stations for maps, guides
and permits for a boat or canoe.
Also, for up to date information check the website:
