Cypress slough along the Tamiami Trail in the Big Cypress Swamp area of South Florida. The 720,000 acre Big Cypress National Preserve is the most biologically diverse region of the terrestrial Everglades of South Florida. Located about 45 miles west of Miami, it is dominated by a wet cypress forest that is host to an array of flora and fauna including orchids, alligators, venomous snakes, a variety of birds, and the Florida Panther and Florida Black Bear. Established in 1974, it was one of the first two national preserves in the National Park System.
