Everglades National Park Florida

Everglades National Park Overview

Everglades National Park includes consists of 1.5 million acres of wetland in southern Florida.

There are three entrances to Everglades National Park that allow for access to 3 separate areas. All these areas offer a wide range of activities! You can take a short walk on the Anhinga Trail to spot abundant wildlife–turtles, herons and alligators! Climb atop Shark Valley’s 65-foot observation tower for a bird’s eye view of the glades. Glide over Florida Bay by tour boat or kayak for a chance to glimpse a crocodile, manatee, or dolphin. Watch as the sun sets over Flamingo, the southernmost point in mainland Florida. Explore the pinelands by bike, paddle amongst the mangroves on Nine-Mile Pond, or tour the historic Nike Hercules missile base. Join a ranger on a slough slog deep into the heart of a cypress dome. And you can also find solitude on your own on a week-long canoe trip, camping along the 99-mile Wilderness Waterway.
