Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve
Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve
Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park, on Janes Memorial Scenic Drive, is part of the Big Cypress Swamp. June is a popular time to visit Fakahatchee Strand when the very rare Ghost Orchid begins blooming and park staff conduct guided walks. Southwest Florida’s Big Cypress Swamp is a flat, gently sloping limestone plain. During rainy season (June through September), water flows slowly south over this plain into mangrove swamps bordering the Gulf of Mexico. Water also flows below ground through the porous underlying limestone. In places, limestone has dissolved, forming elongated sloughs or channels, accumulating organic soils. These channels or sloughs have spawned cypress and other trees, creating swamp forests standing in contrast to open prairies and pinelands. The local term for these linear swamps is "strand," as in Fakahatchee Strand.
On State Road 29, just west of Copeland. (239) 695-4593
