Big Cypress National Preserve, located 40.5 miles away, recorded approximately 2.3 million recreation visits annually and protects vast stretches of cypress forests and wildlife habitat. Biscayne National Park, situated 45.8 miles from the city center, draws around 486,000 annual visitors to its coral reefs, islands, and marine environment. Everglades National Park, the most distant at 58.6 miles, attracts roughly 778,000 visitors each year to its expansive subtropical wetlands.

These three parks collectively represent the region's major federal conservation areas.

The NPS publishes annual visitation statistics for all three units, making them available for trip planning purposes.
