A few words about Florida parks
Florida's National Wildlife Refuges are a tremendous asset to the state. In total, there are more than 100 parks and reserves, containing everything from museums and cultivated gardens to entire islands and vast areas of wilderness.
The first of the national parks and reserves in Florida was opened back in 1921, and the youngest of them are not yet ten years old. Most of them are open to tourists and campers.
The state's climate is considered the most favorable and mild in the country: subtropical in most of it and tropical in the south. The state has many rivers, lakes, streams and other bodies of water, as well as inhabitants characteristic of an aquatic environment: alligators, crabs, frogs, herons, and a huge variety of fish.
