In Short – Covering the western half of Miami-Dade County, the one-and-a-half-million-acre Everglades preserve provides water and recreational outlets for the region's five million residents. 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.
