The Everglades was originally a sea of grass with water flowing slowly from Lake Okeechobee to Florida Bay. This flow was 100 miles long and 50 miles and creeps across the sawgrass prairie.

Many unique plants and animals live in this lazy river, tall grass prairies, shadowy forests, and salty waters. We hope you enjoy learning some interesting tidbits about this exclusive and exceptional environment.
