7 Bodies of Water in Everglades National Park That You Shouldn't Miss
Water covers nearly the entire Everglades. So it's best if you have a boat.

This 100-mile long river is actually the Everglades.

According to the NPS website, this is only offered by request, but in fact, we spoke with the rangers at the Ernest Coe Visitor's Center and it is available every day, and it is totally free! This was one of the most unique and incredible experiences we had in our 4 days at the park, and I highly recommend it! You'll need to be prepared with shoes that can get wet/dirty and pants that dry quick, but otherwise, you just walk into the water and it feels magical, exploring parts of the Everglades most people never see or experience.

We were driving past here on our way to Flamingo and got a glimpse of a lot of birds! On the way back we stopped and saw hundreds of migrating water birds including ducks, herons, egrets, a herd of white pelicans and lots more. That same day the Everglades posted that it was just the right conditions here for a huge bird feeding. We did see one alligator cruising the shoreline as well. What a lucky and fun spot to see! There was pull off parking on both sides of the road.

This was our last stop on our way north out of the Everglades on a short day trip. We got to the Pond just in time to see a Roseate Spoonbill take flight, along with a couple of Wood Storks!! We had been in search of the Roseate throughout our day and were delightfully rewarded by stopping here! This is a very quiet, peaceful spot even in the busy season of January.

A non crowded, level trail along water ways. Opens up at the end with a boardwalk. It was very peaceful.
