About Big Cypress National Preserve
The Preserve protects over 720,000 acres (2,913 km²) of freshwater swamp essential to the health of the Everglades ecosystem. Since the mid-1800s, the Big Cypress Swamp has served as home or refuge to American Indian peoples including the Miccosukee Tribe, and the Seminole Tribe of Florida as well as early European settlers. The descendents of these people can still be found living here. South Florida experiences two main seasons.
