4 miles West of Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center On Rte. 9336, Everglades National Park

The basics

Considered to be the nucleus of the Everglades, Royal Palm State Park was established in 1916 after it was set aside to be saved from development. It practically doubled in size (to 4,000 acres) a short while after and was officially named a protected state park in 1921.

Guests to the visitor center can park in the parking lot, grab a guide brochure, and walk the raised boardwalks of the Anhinga and Gumbo Limbo Trails. Stay on the lookout for all manner of creatures including alligators, great blue herons, and anhinga—a water bird with a long, snake-like neck, and the trail’s namesake. Consider sticking around for a ranger-led tour down one of the trails to learn more about the Everglades and Royal Palm State Park.
