About Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park
A forested swamp corridor runs through the preserve, part of the larger Big Cypress section of the Florida Everglades. The strand sits off SR 29 near Copeland, protecting a linear band of wetland forest within the broader Everglades system. This makes the preserve a stretch of low-lying, water-fed woodland rather than open marsh or coastline.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
