The park abounds with more than 1,000 species of plants, 125 species of fish, 300 species of birds, as well as deer, marsh rabbits and even the occasional eight-foot alligator. Visitors can stroll along hundreds of miles of nature trails, ride an airboat through the sawgrass or enjoy glass-bottom boat tours.
