What to do, What to see, Where to go, Who can help

In early 2019, Everglades City earned the prestigious designation of being Florida's ninth Trail Towns, nestled amidst an array of National and State parks and preserves, alongside Chokoloskee Island. Long before these areas were designated as protected parks, Everglades City bustled with visitors as the first county seat in Collier County. Visitors from around the globe still flock to this area, drawn by the breathtaking beauty of the Everglades enveloping the serene yet charming towns of Everglades City and Chokoloskee.
