Everglades National Park

Everglades National Park is a national park located in southern Florida in the United States. It was established in 1947 to protect the natural landscape and wildlife of the unique Everglades ecosystem. The park covers an area of 1.5 million acres and is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species, many of which are threatened or endangered.

The Everglades is a complex system of wetlands, marshes, and forests that is fed by a slow-moving river of freshwater that flows from Lake Okeechobee into the Gulf of Mexico. The ecosystem is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including American crocodiles, Florida panthers, manatees, and over 350 species of birds.

Visitors to the park can explore the Everglades by hiking, canoeing, kayaking, or taking a guided tour. There are also several campgrounds and picnic areas throughout the park. The park is open year-round, but the best time to visit is during the dry season (November to April) when the weather is cooler and there are fewer mosquitoes.

Overall, the Everglades National Park is an important and unique natural resource in the United States, and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in wildlife and conservation.
