Review:
Encompassing an incredible 1.5 million acres of land in southern Florida, Everglades National Park is a protected region of tropical wetlands that serves as a habitat for hundreds of animal species, including the endangered Florida panther and the leatherback turtle. It's a fantastic place to wildlife watch and there are endless opportunities to do so; alligators can be spotted by the dozen along Loop Road in Big Cypress National Preserve, while visitors who take an airboat ride across the water will have the opportunity to spot manatees, dolphins, and crocodiles. There are also several hiking trails in the park, including some that have boardwalks. Everglades Map, Everglades National Park Video
