Big Cypress National Preserve
A large cypress-swamp landscape west of Miami, offering wildlife, boardwalks and remote drives with fewer urban comforts than a typical day trip.
Why go
Big Cypress protects a mosaic of cypress strands, prairies and wetland habitat north of the Everglades. Roadside boardwalks and visitor centers can provide an accessible introduction, while backcountry routes demand serious preparation. The preserve is especially valuable for travelers who want to understand the wider South Florida watershed rather than treating the Everglades as an isolated park.
What to look for
Cypress strands standing in seasonally flooded terrain
Alligators, birds and turtles near managed boardwalks
Long, open views across the Big Cypress watershed
Useful to know
Start at an official visitor center and ask about current water, road and trail conditions.
Expect limited mobile coverage and services; carry water and avoid improvised backcountry plans.
