Big Cypress National Preserve


Our next stop was Midway Campground in Big Cypress National Preserve. What a terrific campground, all of the sites surrounded a lake, each site has a concrete pad & patio, picnic table, grassy lawn, electricity, is well space from neighboring sites and it is conveniently located right off Hwy 41.

We were able to take a narrated tram tour at Shark Valley and saw more alligators & birds than one could count. Halfway through the tour we walked up to the 60 ft. observation tower and had a great view of the surrounding everglades. This is also a great biking loop covering 15 miles and many visitors opted to take that option.
