However, the winter or so-called dry season is recommended as the best time to visit.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We begin our tour at the <strong>Royal Palm Visitor Center<\/strong> with a short walk along the half-mile Anhinga Trail. A ranger helps us discover the remarkable birdlife, including the long-billed anhinga, after which the trail is named. Here, we can also make our first acquaintance with the dangerous alligators, which we&#8217;ll get to know better later.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After this truly scenic tour, we drive towards <strong>Flamingo<\/strong>. Our first stop, about seven miles in, is the three-quarter-mile Pineland Trail, which we explore in a stop-and-walk manner. At Mahogany Hammock, we take a look at the largest living mahogany tree in the USA.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We unpack our coolers at one of the numerous <strong>picnic areas<\/strong>. While enjoying chilled lemonade and sandwiches, we listen to the chirping, tweeting, and croaking of herons, frogs, and countless other species, which, enveloped by the gentle rustling of sawgrass and cypresses, creates the unmistakable \u201cEverglades sound\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After lunch, we take an <strong>airboat tour<\/strong>, which is offered throughout the area. Everglades Holiday Park near Fort Lauderdale runs daily airboat tours. The National Park entrance fee is about $30 per vehicle. With a bit of luck, the captain will entertain us with an impressive feeding of the predators, namely alligators, which prefer to devour marshmallows. The fact that the local risks his fingers, hands, and entire arms is deceptive, but at least very exciting \u2013 especially for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the evening, we can still enjoy the <strong>dreamy sunset<\/strong> over the access road of the Pa-hay-okee lookout point before savoring alligator tails or frog legs in Everglades City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Activities  Highlights in the Everglades<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid  uagb-post__image-position-top uagb-post__image-enabled uagb-block-6e37b0cf     uagb-post__items uagb-post__columns-2 is-grid uagb-post__columns-tablet-2 uagb-post__columns-mobile-1 uagb-post__equal-height\" data-total=\"1\" style=\"\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article class=\"uagb-post__inner-wrap\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__image'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/atlantic-coast-nature-parks\/seminoles\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\" class=\"uagb-image-ratio-2-3\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Seminolen-Indianer-Florida.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Die Seminolen\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Seminolen-Indianer-Florida.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Seminolen-Indianer-Florida-335x200.jpg 335w, https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Seminolen-Indianer-Florida-768x458.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"uagb-post__title uagb-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/atlantic-coast-nature-parks\/seminoles\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\">Seminoles in Florida | History, Culture &amp; Life on Reservations<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__text uagb-post-grid-byline'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__text uagb-post__excerpt'>\n\t\t\t\t\tThe word \u201cSeminole\u201d is a derivation of the Spanish word \u201cCimarron\u201d and means \u201cwild man\u201d.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>largest subtropical wetland in North America<\/strong> and a unique natural spectacle is a sixty-kilometer-wide and only fifteen-centimeter-deep river that languidly flows, or rather seeps, at a barely noticeable pace of just one meter per hour. The Everglades, consisting of &#8216;Ever&#8217; (endless expanse) and &#8216;-glades&#8217; (open areas covered with grasses and rushes), are also called the River of Grass. The marshland area extends from Lake Okeechobee in the north to the Ten Thousand Islands in the south.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"geologische-beschaffenheit\">Geological Composition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>swampland<\/strong> was formed by Florida&#8217;s geological composition with its specific climate. Southern Florida consists of a plate of porous limestone. This plate slopes very gently southward towards the Gulf of Mexico. The largest depression in this limestone plate is Lake Okeechobee, a lake that, at about 1,800 square kilometers, is roughly three times the size of Lake Constance. Since the elevation difference between Okeechobee and the Gulf of Mexico is only about five meters, and the highest natural point in the national park is only 2.4 meters above sea level, it takes the water about a year to travel 160 km to reach the sea.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From May to October, during the rainy season, the lake overflows, sometimes bringing <strong>up to 1,200 liters per square meter<\/strong> of water. Due to the low slope of the earth&#8217;s surface, the water pressure is very low, so the water fails to carve out a riverbed and regularly floods the land by a few centimeters. During the dry season, the Everglades then dry out, increasing the risk of bushfires.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aufteilung-der-everglades\">Division of the Everglades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1947, the Everglades were declared a national park. Since 1979, they have been part of the <strong>UNESCO World Natural Heritage<\/strong>, which designated them as an \u201cInternational Biosphere Reserve\u201d. About half of the original area of the Everglades is now used for agriculture, while the other half mostly belongs to the national park and adjacent nature reserves.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Everglades National Park encompasses only about twenty percent of the original wetlands in its southern part. The only road connection into the park leads from Florida City via State Road SR 9336 about sixty kilometers to Flamingo in the southwest. Except for the visitor center and some other small facilities in the park, the original state has been preserved. There are camping opportunities in Flamingo and at more than forty other locations, although their use requires more or less intensive mosquito protection depending on the season.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the developed paths in the park, far from any hustle and bustle of civilization, you can observe the breathtaking nature and great <strong>diversity of animal species<\/strong>. Shark Valley is particularly known for its abundance of wildlife. From this trail, alligators, cormorants, herons, anhingas, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/en\/category\/fishing-species\/\" data-type=\"category\" data-id=\"159\">fish<\/a>, and turtles can be observed up close.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"unaufhaltsam-verloren-gehendes-paradies\">A Paradise Being Lost Unstoppably<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>marshland<\/strong> of the Everglades, repeatedly interspersed with small forest islands and bordered by natural channels, is considered one of the world&#8217;s most endangered ecosystems. About half of the original area of the Everglades is now used for agriculture, while the other half mostly belongs to the national park and adjacent nature reserves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wie-alles-begann\">How it all Began<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As farmers, cattle ranchers, and sugarcane growers began using <strong>more and more land<\/strong> in South Florida, water was increasingly diverted from the natural Everglades system. This was compounded by agricultural runoff, which increased phosphorus levels. This did not harm the nutrient itself, but rather the sensitive, originally nutrient-poor ecosystem: as a result, cattails in particular spread into areas previously dominated by typical sawgrass stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the beginning of the 20th century, the then-governor of Florida, with the suspiciously famous name Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, initiated one of the world&#8217;s most destructive interventions in nature: He had the <strong>Caloosahatchee River<\/strong> redirected and connected to Lake Okeechobee. To make the land arable, hundreds of canals were laid through the swampland, and the lake was dyked. This turned uninhabited areas into farmland. At the time of the national park&#8217;s establishment, additional lands were released for agricultural use.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"nierenversagen-der-everglades\">Kidney Failure of the Everglades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of this has led to a reduction in the natural <strong>freshwater supply<\/strong> and insufficient natural pollutant purification of the river. Its so-called \u201ckidney function\u201d for pollutant removal was no longer sufficient, and the ecological balance was severely disturbed. The prolonged drought, together with the fires in the 1980s, put additional strain on the biotope.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The water of the Everglades is partly used for <strong>drinking water production<\/strong> for adjacent cities such as Miami. The wetlands clean the so-called Florida Aquifer, which ensures the drinking water supply as a groundwater conductor. Today, it is seriously endangered by pollution and drying out. In addition, there are high mercury levels and, unfortunately, the nesting of marsh birds has declined by up to ninety percent since the 1930s.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"

are numerous environmentalists who are committed to preserving the landscape, like the tireless fighter Marjory Stoneman Douglas once was. The still acute and <strong>unrestricted land development<\/strong> leaves little hope that the tide will turn for the better. The sensitive ecosystem lies directly adjacent to one of the fastest-growing urban regions in the USA.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the year 2000, Florida\u2019s population had already reached nearly 16 million. South Florida\u2019s water management system, which had originally been designed to serve about two million people, had long since reached its limits. At the same time, <strong>new residential areas <\/strong>were springing up east of the Everglades, while more than half of the original Everglades ecosystem was lost to drainage and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"weltnaturerbe-bald-enterbt\">World Natural Heritage Soon to be Disinherited?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the Everglades have been a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site since the late 1970s, they were classified as endangered in 1993 due to increasing environmental pollution from fertilizers and mercury, the draining of the surrounding area, and destruction by <strong>hurricanes<\/strong> such as Andrew or Wilma. Therefore, they are now on the Red List of World Heritage in Danger. Between 2007 and 2010, this classification was briefly lifted on the political initiative of the then US government, which was reversed in mid-2010.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Spanish navigator <strong>Juan Ponce de Leon<\/strong> from Puerto Rico came to the Everglades from the south in 1513 and discovered the region, which he named Florida. He encountered the natives of the powerful Calusa Indian tribe. They had lived in this area for centuries. Their dwellings were clay huts, they fed on plants and aquatic animals, and worshipped the sun as their supreme deity.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>seafarers<\/strong> tried to conquer the area and brought smallpox to the land. In the middle of the 17th century, the Indians succumbed to the epidemic, while at the same time white settlers in Alabama and Georgia drove out the Miccosukee and Creek Indians living there. The Indians who then found refuge in the Everglades were called Seminoles.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1821, the USA bought Florida from the Spanish <strong>for five million dollars<\/strong>. The number of settlers increased, and the Seminoles were increasingly pushed to the south of Florida. They rejected the government&#8217;s offer to relocate to reservations in Missouri, Louisiana, and Arkansas. So they fought for seven long years against the American army under the leadership of the famous Chief Osceola. Even after burying the hatchet in 1842, deadly conflicts continued to occur in the following years. After an attack by Captain John Parkhill in 1857, only about one hundred Seminole Indian women and men survived these disturbances.     <br><br>Around the turn of the century, plans began for <strong>road and railroad construction<\/strong> in southern Florida. Building land was designated for this purpose. Unfortunately, with the advent of civilization, the ecosystem of the Everglades suffered significantly for the first time. Millions of herons were killed for their splendid plumage. Thanks to the protest of conservationists, laws were finally introduced that prohibited poaching and hunting in the Everglades.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Audubon Society<\/strong>, founded in 1886, hired game wardens to enforce laws. The society was named after James Audubon. The artist had captured the wonderful marshland world through drawings and engravings of birds and other animals. In 1928, the Everglades became a national park, and the Tropical Everglades National Park Association was established.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>President Roosevelt<\/strong> signed the bill to establish the national park in 1934. However, due to bureaucratic obstacles and the outbreak of World War II, the park&#8217;s opening was delayed until 1949. The straightening of many waterways from 1947 to 1983 disrupted the ecological balance, which numerous environmental engineers are still working to restore today.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"videos-zu-den-everglades\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:0;padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">Videos from the Web<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-fb2c7e0e alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-648dfa83\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-youtube-block\"><div id=\"yb-video-4JmYw2k9lpA\" class=\"yb-player\" data-video-id=\"4JmYw2k9lpA\" data-title=\"Play\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/4JmYw2k9lpA\/hqdefault.jpg)\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"yb-btn-play\"><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div><figcaption class=\"yb-caption\">The Alligators of the Everglades<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-2e49dc26\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-youtube-block\"><div id=\"yb-video-LdaCisbQstk\" class=\"yb-player\" data-video-id=\"LdaCisbQstk\" data-title=\"Play\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/LdaCisbQstk\/hqdefault.jpg)\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"yb-btn-play\"><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div><figcaption class=\"yb-caption\">Canoe Tour Wilderness Waterway Trail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-c265e383\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-youtube-block\"><div id=\"yb-video-HPrPtCns5Lc\" class=\"yb-player\" data-video-id=\"HPrPtCns5Lc\" data-title=\"Play\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/HPrPtCns5Lc\/hqdefault.jpg)\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"yb-btn-play\"><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div><figcaption class=\"yb-caption\">Meet the Inhabitants of the Everglades <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-4a60bb72\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-youtube-block\"><div id=\"yb-video-OfH22cJc8uw\" class=\"yb-player\" data-video-id=\"OfH22cJc8uw\" data-title=\"Play\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/OfH22cJc8uw\/hqdefault.jpg)\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"yb-btn-play\"><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div><figcaption class=\"yb-caption\">Everglades Park Documentary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-d9e6ed3e\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-youtube-block\"><div id=\"yb-video-Q6mjluqgvZ0\" class=\"yb-player\" data-video-id=\"Q6mjluqgvZ0\" data-title=\"Play\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/Q6mjluqgvZ0\/hqdefault.jpg)\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"yb-btn-play\"><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div><figcaption class=\"yb-caption\">The Amazing Ecosystem<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-9fb5e1ba\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-youtube-block\"><div id=\"yb-video-Aqdq2gmKzJ8\" class=\"yb-player\" data-video-id=\"Aqdq2gmKzJ8\" data-title=\"Play\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/Aqdq2gmKzJ8\/hqdefault.jpg)\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"yb-btn-play\"><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div><figcaption class=\"yb-caption\">Top 10 Things To Do In Everglades <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-7a4d118a alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq uagb-faq__outer-wrap uagb-block-f711567d uagb-faq-icon-row uagb-faq-layout-accordion uagb-faq-expand-first-false uagb-faq-inactive-other-true uagb-faq__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap uagb-faq-equal-height     \" data-faqtoggle=\"true\" role=\"tablist\"><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.florida-scout.com\\\/en\\\/everglades\\\/\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What's Special About the Everglades?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The Everglades are a <strong>unique ecosystem<\\\/strong> in Florida and the largest subtropical wetland in the USA.
