Everglades National Park 2011
This 1.4 million acre park harbors a rich blend of tropical and temperate species in a unique setting. The uniqueness of the park has been recognized by its designation as both a World Heritage Site and as an International Biosphere Reserve. During the months of February and March the climate is ideal. Daytime temperatures average in the upper seventies and nighttime lows are usually in the sixties. Winter is the dry season in south Florida and one can expect rainfall to come in thundershowers which average one every four days. The name Everglades suggest a boundless refreshment and, to the canoeist, photographer or outdoors person, it is a real winter treat.
This year we offer two extended canoe-camping trips.
