Getting Away From The Crowds!
Follow nature’s path to discover Florida’s hidden splendors and escape in true solitude amidst landscapes of great beauty and diversity. That old saying, “If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute” is sure true of our Florida summers, but any time of year, you could say, “If you don’t like the terrain, just drive a mile.” Our state’s sheer size ensures an amazing multitude of back to nature activities and adventure’s at every turn. We Floridians enjoy the luxury of becoming intimate with what’s truly special and hidden about Florida’s Nature and Outdoors.

Like most, you may have first become acquainted with Florida Nature and Outdoors at the beach. Sooner or later you are drawn into the mystery and retreat of its mangroves, its forest hammocks, pinelands, biking or hiking the trails, scrublands and swamps. You can find, beneath Florida’s polished veneer, an unending variety of unspoiled landscape where you can get close to the elements and catch a good nature buzz.

Florida is ‘Extreme Nature!’ Extreme in its mood swings. It ranges from essentially tropical islands and deep drifting dunescape to mucky wetlands, limestone caverns, viney jungle, and magnificent forests of oak and magnolia. Each bioscape offers its own brand of feel-good recreation – paddling, diving, swimming, camping, surfing, hiking, cycling, spelunking… you name it!

More than 5 million acres of mostly undeveloped land, the largest wildlife management area system in the country, offers remote getaways and the best of the best natural areas and outdoors experiences for outdoor lovers in every corner of the state. This is indeed the original Florida.

Southern Florida

Florida's Nature & Outdoors!

Miami Orlando Everglades Naples hiking canoeing alligators

Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation
Davie, Florida
800 617-7516

To see Florida like a native, you have to get out of the fast lane of Miami or Orlando, and head inland and a good choice is the Big Cypress Indian Reservation in southeastern Hendry County.

The pace eases as soon as you head into the heart of the Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation. It gears down still further as you turn onto the dirt and stone road that leads to Billie Swamp Safari, one of the Seminole tribe's latest business ventures, geared to a growing appetite for soft adventure.

This is a Florida attraction of a different sort. There are no high-tech rides, no phones, video games or MTV. No traffic jams in the parking lot. No hordes of people waiting in line. There is available, however, the Florida Everglades, swamp buggies, airboat rides, hiking, canoeing, Ah-Tah-Ti-Ki Seminole Museum, and/or an overnight stay in a thatched hut.
