We were going to go within the next couple of weeks by jaosehl

but after having visited the Everglades two weekends ago, we’re going to put this off until winter comes around again. It’s WAY too buggy right now.

I’m going to give this one up for a while to make space on my list.

I am SO keen to go on one of their swamp walks.

Taken from their website:

SWAMPWALKS

Call the park for dates and times. Tour fee is $25 per person, reservations required. Limited to groups of 15. Explore a unique swamp forest with a trail guide. Since there is no path, you will wade waist deep through Cypress forest and pond-apple sloughs. The walk requires four hours of fairly strenuous hiking and wading. See beautiful, rare tropical plants. Share the swamp with Florida black bears, otters, minks, and Florida panthers. Long pants and secure footwear a must. Bring food, water and insect repellent.

Call (239) 695-2440 for more details.
