Everglades National Park
It may not be known to everyone, but Everglades National Park remains one of the most endangered national parks in the country.
Unlike other parks, Everglades National Park was created the preserve a portion of the ecosystem as a wildlife habitat.
With such a unique
mixture of tropical and temperate plants and animals, Everglades
contains over 700 plant and 300 bird species.
It also gives as home to endangered species such as the manatee, crocodile, and Florida panther.
Everglades basically has two seasons to choose from: dry and wet.
From mid-December through mid-April, weather is dry and is the most popular time to visit.
Humid weather and mosquitoes typically keep tourists away during the wet season – the rest of the year.
Tropical trees are a must-see in this swampland and Mahogany Hammock is
the habitat to place to see them all.
The Everglades are home to
hardwood trees that align in a tear-drop shape.
Sitting on slightly elevated patches of ground, they are developed through the action of flood waters rising and falling throughout the year. .
One great way to see the park is through Shark Valley Tram Tours.
Guided two-hour tours run along a 15-mile loop into the River of Grass
offering an exciting opportunity to see wildlife and learn about the
Freshwater ecosystem.
Shark River is also a fun spot where visitors will certainly see
alligators and birds.
Will you see sharks?
No. But, it remains a marvelous spot to view turtles, hawks, and harriers.
It features vast expanses of scenic vistas with marshes, sloughs, strands, hammocks, and pine forests.
Water is
the preserve's life's blood.
Because the land is nearly flat, the water flows slowly on its way to the Gulf of Mexico, supplying fresh water for the vital estuaries of the Ten Thousand Islands area.
“Big” refers not to the tree’s size but to the swamp’s extent of more than 2,400 square miles in subtropical Florida.
White-tailed deer, bear and Florida panther can be found in the same areas as the more tropical linguus tree snail, cape sable seaside sparrow and roseate spoonbill.
Big Cypress National
Preserve provides numerous recreational opportunities for its visitors.
Bird watching, boating,
bicycling, camping, fishing, canoeing, hiking, off-road vehicle use, and
wildlife viewing are among the principal activities.
