Located 30 miles west of Miami off the Tamiami Trail (U.S. Highway 41), Shark Valley is in the very heart of the Everglades freshwater marsh. You may walk, bike, or take a narrated tram ride along a 15-mile loop road into Shark River Slough. Along the loop road you will have the opportunity to view wildlife close up. Halfway around the loop is a 70-foot high observation tower providing a panoramic view of the sawgrass marsh. Highly recommended visit if you're a nature nerd.
