How to use this guide

The Everglades acreage on this page is not a single row. The September 30, 2026 workbook says to add the Everglades National Park row and the Everglades Expansion row for a total, and the figures here follow that instruction. The park is listed in Florida. A large gross area does not tell you which entrances connect, or whether a trail is dry.

The monthly record for this park does not follow the June-to-August peak that dominates many western parks. Read the chart as a history of entries under the Park Service definition, then read the park’s conditions page before you treat a quiet month as an open invitation. Water, wildlife distance, and permits are the park’s to set.
