One of the largest — and most iconic — national parks in the country is just over an hour's drive from Downtown Miami
At 1.5-million acres, Everglades National Park is the third largest national park in the country — and the largest east of the Mississippi River. Filled with winding waterways, mangrove-lined shores, murky swamps, and epic wildlife (this is the only place on Earth where crocodiles and alligators co-exist), it's a nature-lover's paradise just over an hour from Miami.
