What to expect

Take the road less traveled with this self-guided driving tour through the lush wetlands of Big Cypress National Preserve. Stroll along scenic boardwalks through the preserve's diverse habitats, dig into the fraught history of this fragile ecosystem, and of course keep your eyes peeled for alligators! As you tour this serene and strangely beautiful land, you'll hear about the Seminole tribe, plans to destroy the preserve to build an airport, and a whole lot more.

Our tour begins on the outskirts of Miami, right near the entrance to the Big Cypress National Preserve. As you drive, you'll first pass the Miccosukee Indian Village and hear about the history of indigenous people in south Florida. Then you'll get a feel for more recent history, like the artist who put this landscape on the map.

The first trail you'll see is the Tree Snail Hammock Trail, where you can spot rare snails known as “living jewels.” Beyond that is the secluded Loop Road. Cruising through the lush greenery, you'll learn about the history of the road, including grand plans for a new Miami.

Then you'll see Kirby Storter Roadside Park, one of the preserve's most iconic attractions. Featuring a boardwalk through a lush forest, this is one you won't want to miss!

Another roadside park waits just ahead, known as one of the best spots around to spot some local wildlife. Beyond that is the ever-quirky “smallest post office in America,” where you'll certainly want to pick up an unusual souvenir.
