Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve

Take a walk through the real Florida swamplands on a mile-long boardwalk, which keeps you four feet off the ground – just enough to avoid the wild alligators, water moccasins, and other fascinating animals which are so unique to this region. An amphitheatre and picnic grounds provide more reasons to head on down to this destination.
