Review:
The Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge is located on Florida's southwest coast. This 35,000-acre refuge is mostly made up of mangrove habitats that are home to many wildlife species, some of which are endangered. Wildlife watching and birding are some of the most popular activities in the refuge and manatees are commonly seen, as are many beautiful birds, sea turtles, and a large variety of other animals.
Wildlife can be spotted by boat or by following the 1-mile Tamiami Trail. The trail is basic, and unimproved and has limited parking. Boats are also permitted in the refuge, offering anoth-er way to see the wildlife and experience the surroundings. Fishing and hunting are both permitted in the park.
