Everglades National Park protects a vast subtropical wilderness of sawgrass marshes, mangroves, and slow-moving water. It is the largest tropical wilderness in the United States. The park provides habitat for alligators, manatees, and the endangered Florida panther. Its ecosystems depend on seasonal water flow that shapes the landscape.
Visitors explore by boat, boardwalk, or trail, experiencing a mosaic of wetlands and wildlife. The Everglades ecological importance makes it a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
