The Beautiful and Famous Parks of Florida

Florida is a state that is located in the South-eastern region of the United States, neighboring Alabama to the northwest, and Georgia in the northeast. The majority of Florida has a humid subtropical weather, while Southern Florida has a tropical weather. Due to this kind of weather, its parks look like paradise.

There are a lot of famous national parks in Florida and these includes; the Big Cypress National Preserve, the Biscayne National Park, and the Caloosahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. These are joined with the Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge, the Dry Tortugas National Park, the Everglades National Park, the Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge, the Gulf Islands National Seashore, and the Saint Vincent National Wildlife Refuge. In this article, we will just discuss three of them namely: the Big Cypress National Preserve, the Biscayne National Park, and the Everglades National Park.

Big Cypress National Preserve
This park is a sort of preserve in the midst of the cosmic Everglades and the increasing Florida commercial and residential population. The Big Cypress is somewhat a little less distraught with tourism than its brother. With almost similar wildlife and identical climates, this well-maintained national site is a must see for tourists and adventurers. There is a wide range of activities to try on while being overwhelmed in this pristine, dense setting. You can try hiking and backpack through the thick woods that beautify the park or even glide the bogs and swamps. The venerable ecosystems are abundant with tropical birds and some other extraordinary natives, which makes kayaking or boating through the winding streams a great means to take it all in.

Biscayne National Park
Just for a quick stroll from the active and busy nightlife of Miami, the Biscayne National Park is to be found. While most of their community is recognized as a sanctuary of economic elite, this part of the shoreline is mostly a well-maintained habitat. Although the land is still very flat, the vegetation is really very thick. Here, you can discover thick forests; however you can find on the central part of the park is Biscayne Bay. This protected cove is very ideal for fishing and boating. There is also a well-established trail that leads to the lake on the mainland side.

A visitor center has been located here, very near to the blue green water's perimeter. Camping and also snorkeling are some of the pastimes at Biscayne for families that are on vacation from the north. Even though there are some strange and unnatural views from out of the bay and that includes a huge landfill, a nuclear plant, and the distant Miami buildings, Biscayne is still is far from civilized.

Everglades National Park
The Everglades are a natural awesome sight: with lengthy patches of flat and vegetated earth in the middle of streams and marshes, a great quantity of unique natural world, and a great land, kept solely for the enlargement and richness of the ecosystems within.

There are a lot of ways to behold the park. A visitor can cross it on foot while hiking the thin paths by the side of the water, ride a canoe into the streams and trails in the midst of landmasses. Or, go fast about the bigger bodies of water riding on a fan boat. Also, be aware of the park's natives, crocodiles and alligators are existing here, making it an exceptionally unusual occurrence.

The tropical condition of southern Florida allows the exotic birds (at about 300 of their recorded species), and the wildlife beautify the park. It has constantly grown in population since its inauguration in 1934. This park is swamped with tourism. It offers an amazing perspective of an unrestrained tropical area, untouched by man's hand.
