Everglades National Park was the first national park I visited, and its stunning views made the experience unforgettable. I also saw many crocodiles and alligators, which is especially remarkable because the Everglades is one of the few places where both species coexist.
Sincerely,
Everglades National Park
One of the largest wetlands in the world, this iconic "River of Grass" protects 1.5 million acres of subtropical wilderness in South Florida.
State(s): Florida
Established: 1947
“I sI support national parks because they protect millions of animals and plants. I hope to visit more parks in the future and that we can preserve them for generations to come.”
