The Gulf Coast teems with tree-lined paddle trails, including the five-mile Sandfly Island Loop and those along Turner River. Canoeing and kayaking are popular excursions, and guests are able to bring their own, or rent from within the park, at the Gulf Coast area or Flamingo. A majority of the trails are aquatic ones, for paddle sports and boats. Yes, there are hiking trails, but most are short and all are flat-Florida, after all, is the flattest state in the country. Unlike some of the iconic national parks in the west, with their soaring peaks and deep canyons, Everglades is the type of national park where water is the star. The best things to do in Everglades National Park
Despite the drastic weather changes, a visit in the summer has its pros too: lusher landscapes, decreased crowds, prime boat tour conditions, and opportunities to spot more alligators in the water, rather than on dry land. Higher water levels also mean wildlife is more dispersed, and ranger-guided programs drop off as some facilities enter a seasonal hibernation. Aligning with hurricane season, from May through November, this is when thunderous weather is more likely (afternoon downpours are a common, albeit fleeting, occurrence), humidity is over 90 percent, mosquitos and flies are swarming, and temperatures soar to average highs of 90 degrees. The wet season, conversely, transforms the Everglades into a watery wonderland.
