October

What is the name of this wetland wilderness?
Located in Florida, this park is the largest tropical wilderness in the United States. It is also the largest wilderness of any kind east of the Mississippi. It is the third largest national park in the lower 48, and the first created to protect a fragile ecosystem.

Did you know:

  • It is the only place in the world where the American alligator and the American crocodile live together in the wild.
  • The majority of South Florida's water is recharged in this park.
