Composed of 1.5 million acres of saw grass and swamps it offers an excellent opportunity to see this incredible paradise. When President Truman opened the park in 1947 he said; "Here are no lofty peaks seeking the sky, no mighty glaciers or rushing streams wearing away the uplifted land. Here is land, tranquil in its quiet beauty, serving not as the source of water, but as the receiver of it. To its natural abundance we owe the spectacular plant and animal life that distinguishes this place from all others in our country."
