NATIONAL PARKApalachicola National Forest Stretching across four northwestern counties, the Apalachicola National Forest is the largest of Florida's three national forests. Its 571,088 acres of varied terrain include pine flatwoods, hardwood hammocks, swamp, rivers, lakes and two wilderness areas:

NATIONAL PARKBig Cypress National Preserve Two major highways, Alligator Alley (I-75) and Tamiami Trail (US 41), cross the preserve and make it accessible from both coasts. Big Cypress National Preserve is part of Big Cypress Swamp, which encompasses more than 2,400 square miles of south Florida. These areas are a major source of fresh water for the fragile Everglades and the southwestern part of the state. Big Cypress National Preserve protects this valuable resource and provides sanctuary for varied wildlife, including alligators, herons, egrets, woodpeckers, bald eagles, deer and the endangered Florida panther. Hunting and fishing are permitted under special regulations; licenses are required.

NATIONAL PARKBiscayne National Park Reached via Florida's Turnpike (exit 6, Speedway Boulevard) and south to S.W. 328th St. (North Canal Drive), Biscayne National Park encompasses a huge part of southeast Florida. Only 8,600 of its 173,000 acres are land; the rest are water, and there is as much to see below its surface as there is above it. The park offers a look at unspoiled Florida.
