Big Cypress Swamp Welcome Center
The ranger was super nice and informative and gave us an overview of the map. It’s definitely worth a stop inside. There's a boardwalk along the canal where gaters are too.
Ochopee Post Office
Smallest Post Office in the United States
Stop, read the plaque, and maybe mail a postcard. It's cute, and one of those You were there places. There is really the smallest Post Office in USA, just 5 sq m, with a kind postman sitting inside, ready to stamp and to send your card from this very special, tiny and unique Post Office.
H.P. Williams Roadside Park
We stop by this park every year on our annual trip to the Everglades. The alligators never disappoint! It's right on the highway, easy to park. There are always nice birds and fish too. Definitely stop there!
Big Cypress Oasis Visitor Center
Great place to stop on the 41 ,stretch your legs and view the alligators .Small visitor centre with interesting postings of animals and birds sighted in the area .
Loop Road Scenic Drive
Loop Road is an absolute must for any photographer and film-maker. If you want to see some remarkably gorgeous spots, take the drive! Of the 24 miles, a good 12 to 15 of them are rather unremarkable and you just need to get through them. This is a wonderful drive if you want to see the Everglades up close and personal.
You will see alligators and birds in their natural habitat. We saw a big gator on the street :) So watch out.

Manatee at Big Cypress Swamp visitor center, Everglades
The visitor center is accessible from the Tamiami Trail, US41, and often has Manatee swimming in the waterway at the back of the center, viewable from a boardwalk.
Manatees At the Big Cypress Swamp Visitor center.
These Manatees were just relaxing and eating, right off the board walk. Very easy to see.
But we first found them by listening for when they exhaled! Really nice site!
5 Manatees at least, with two mothers and babies.
