Boating in Everglades National Park

Boating is a big part of the outdoor activities of this park. Florida Bay represents 1/2 million acres of the park's 1.5 million acres! Visitors planning to enjoy watersports such as fishing, kayaking, or canoeing should take time to make appropriate preparations for a boating adventure in the park. Park waters are often shallow and the resources extremely fragile.

Be sure to review boating and fishing regulations, and tips on each of these linked web pages. The park management highly recommends taking the free local boating course -Ecomariner.

Full Moon

National Parks are some of the few places in this country where people can experience a night sky in all its magnificence, without the interference of artificial lights. In fact, a night sky monitoring program is being implemented in the National Park System to inventory light pollution.
