Most people wouldn't assosciate swamps with valuable real estate, but this park, encompassing almost the entire southern tip of the state of Florida, has an ecological value that goes beyond dollars and cents. This is nature in the raw, with all its random beauty just a few steps from Miami. Wildlife here isn't just present-it abounds, from alligators to turtles to flocks of our feathered friends. It's nice to see what little effect human habitation appears to have had in this remote yet accessible wilderness.
