in the Everglades. |

|
On any given day you
might see a manatee, bald eagle, black bear or
bobcat.
The park is also rich
in history. A battle during the Third Seminole War
between the Seminole Tribe and U.S. soldiers was
fought near the park. |
In places, limestone has
dissolved, forming elongated sloughs or channels which
have accumulated deep organic soils.
|
These
channels or sloughs have been colonized by cypress
and other trees, creating swamp forests that stand
out on the horizon in contrast to the open prairies
and pinelands that occupy the sterile veneer of marl
soil which is on top of the remaining limestone. The
local term for these linear swamps is "strand."
