Everglades National Park is located in southern Florida, just west of Miami. πΊ
οΈ It spans three counties: Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Broward. The park is a unique mix of swamps, marshes, and prairies. It has a slow-moving river called the "River of Grass" that flows south from Lake Okeechobee into Florida Bay. π
The park is mostly flat and has no
mountains, which is why it feels like a giant sponge! The Everglades are famous for their wet and dry seasons, which change throughout the year, making it a very interesting environment to study!
