Paddling Florida’s Everglades

Tropical hardwood hammocks, exotic birdwatching, alligator spotting and meandering mangroves make the Everglades a bucket-listworthy paddling paradise. Move from freshwater streams to brackish bays to salty coastal flats. Camp on a floating site. Swim with dolphins and manatees. Save this trip for the winter months when mosquitoes are manageable and stiflingly muggy summer days are months away.
