The Florida Everglades
The Florida Everglades is larger than most visitors think it is. The Everglades is the size of the state of Rhode Island. Flowing south it is also called the river of grass. In the heart of the Florida Everglades sits Everglades National Park. The confusion for most travelers is that this is the only part of the Everglades. However, the Everglades can be accessed from many areas on the east coast of Florida. Including Boca Raton Florida, the Loxahatchee Preserve is part of the Everglades. This is where you can take an airboat ride in Boca Raton to see its many wonders. The sawgrass strands, wet marshlands, and tree islands make up the landscape in this region of the Everglades.
