Shark Valley
Wildlife abounds here in a freshwater ecosystem of sawgrass marsh and tree islands. A fifteen mile tram road extends into the marsh, offering one of the best opportunities in the park to view alligators and an endangered raptor, the snail kite. A two hour narrated tram ride provides an overview of the freshwater Everglades, and bicycles are available to rent. Those wishing to explore alone can walk the short trails and portions of the tram road, or bike. An observation tower located halfway around the tram road provides a spectacular view into the sawgrass marsh.
