The Buttonwood Café in the Flamingo District of Everglades National Park will be closed for the rest of the summer season, reopening in November 2011. The Flamingo Visitor Center and the Marina remain open through the summer, located at the extreme southern tip of the park approximately 38 miles south of the Homestead main entrance. The Flamingo Visitor Center offers educational displays, informational brochures, and backcountry permits. Near the visitor center are campgrounds, a marina and marina store, and canoe/kayak rentals. When visiting this area of the park, during the wet summer season, please be prepared for mosquito activity and possible afternoon rain storms. Directions to the Park can be found on the website at https://www.nps.gov/ever/index.htm or by calling the Park at (305) 242-7700. |
