With over one and a half million acres of wetlands located at Florida’s southernmost tip, Everglades National Park contains some truly beautiful and unique nature. Full of sawgrass marshes, pine flatwoods, and coastal mangroves, Everglades National park contains an abundance of wildlife, including West Indian Manatees, alligators, leatherback turtles, dolphins, and even the Florida panther. From atop Shark Valley’s observation tower, visitors can see the glades from above and keep their eyes open for wildlife and birds. Everglades National park can be explored by bike, by canoe or kayak, or on foot. The park has three entrances and they are not all connected, so visitors should plan ahead before stopping for a visit.
