Everglades National Park, Florida
There is only one Everglades in the World.
Everglades National Park is the largest subtropical wilderness in the
United States. The area boasts rare and endangered species, such as the
American crocodile, Florida panther, and West Indian manatee. It has been
designated an International Biosphere Reserve, a World Heritage Site, and
a Wetland of International Importance, in recognition of its significance to
all the people of the world.
The boundaries of Everglades National Park protect only the southern
one-fifth of the historic Everglades ecosystem. In its entirety, this massive
watershed boasts a multitude of habitats that provide a subtropical refuge
to a unique assemblage of wildlife.
With the passage of time and the growth of human population centers in
south Florida, the park serves a new role-- serving as a touchstone
against which to guage the impacts of man on the natural world. Scientific
study is the key to better understanding, and managing, the resources
entrusted to our care and protection.

Wilderness Camping
One of the best ways to experience the Everglades is to get out into it for
an extended visit. With 156 miles (251 km) of canoe/kayak and walking
trails and 47 designated wilderness campsites, opportunities for solitude
are abundant. Most of the wilderness campsites are only accessible by
boat. Safely exploring a wilderness by water requires careful preparation
and planning. Permits are also required.
Climate
The Everglades is mild and pleasant from December through April,
though rare cold fronts may create near freezing conditions. Average
temperatures in winter - High 77°F (25°C); Low 53°F (12°C). Summers are
hot and humid, with temperatures around 90°F (32°C) and humidity over
90%. Afternoon thunderstorms are common and mosquitoes are
abundant. The Atlantic Hurricane Season is June-November. Tropical
storms or hurricanes may affect the area. Average Rainfall: 60 inches
(152 cm) per year. The rainy season is June through October (mosquito
season coincides with the rainy season).
