Florida’s Everglades National Park is the third-largest national park in the lower 48 states after Death Valley and Yellowstone national parks. Visiting the Everglades is also a unique experience; unlike its western counterparts, much of this 2,400-square-mile park is covered in water and only accessible by boat. The vast tropical wilderness is home to a rich diversity of wildlife and filled with fun outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, kayaking and canoeing.
When To Go
The drier season from November to March is the best time to visit the Everglades, especially if you plan to camp. Heat and humidity, frequent rainfall and mosquitoes can make a summer visit less enjoyable.
