History and nature combine to make Collier-Seminole State Park a favorite with families, campers and nature-lovers. It is the easiest way to access Everglades ecology in this part of the state. Witness history at a "walking dredge" exhibit – a relic of the days when engineers built Tamiami Trail through the buggy, hot Everglades swampland. In the replicated Civil War blockhouse, you will find natural-science interpretative exhibits about local fauna – river otters, bobcats, manatees and a wealth of birds. You can explore the park's 7,271 acres by hiking, biking and canoeing trails. The park rents canoes and offers camping sites for RVs and tents. Day visitors can enjoy the playground and picnic areas.
