Visitors can enjoy taking photos along walking and canoe trails, observation platforms at the Marsh Trail and boat ramp, a photo blind on the Marsh Trail, and many places in between. The Cypress Swamp Boardwalk meanders through the largest cypress stand remaining in the northern Everglades, rich with beautiful plants and native wildlife to photograph.
