Everglades National Park

Everglades National Park — A subtropical climate, a broad, shallow river, and a variety of plant and animal life make this National Park a must visit. Wildlife species include the Florida Panther, American Crocodile, and West Indian Manatee. If you enter through the Flamingo Main Entrance, make sure to stop and take the 45-minute walk around the Anhinga Trail, it’s a partially paved trail with a boardwalk that stretches out over the water. This is a good spot to see alligators in their natural habitat. Everglades National Park is located at 40001 State Rd. 9336, Homestead; (Map); Phone (305) 242-7700.
