Loxahtchee National Wildlife refuge
This 221-sq mile (572-sq km) refuge is known for its superb wildlife.
The best time to visit is in winter when migrating birds arrive here from the north. The visitor center, off route 441 has a display that explains the Everglades' ecology and there are also two trails.
The Cypress Swamp Boardwalk is lined with wax myrtle trees; the longer Marsh Trail is a bird watchers paradise, with ibis, herons, and anhingas.
Visitors can also spot tuttles and alligators. Those with canoes can explore the 5.5 mile (9-km) canoe trail, and there are also numerous nature walks.
