Florida is filled with glorious places to snag some much needed solitude in a natural setting. If you’re looking to hit the boardwalk trails in search of nature, plus maybe a few up-close snapshots of alligators in their natural setting, then we have the perfect place. This small but mighty state park in Florida has epic boardwalk trails and a seemingly never-ending expanse of nature.
Visitors will come across Kirby Storter Roadside Park halfway through their drive across Big Cypress along Highway 41.
Kirby Storter himself served as a carpenter and electrician for Barron Collier, and later oversaw the construction of roads throughout South Florida, including Tamiami Trail.
One of the most popular aspects of this park is the boardwalk—which offers guests the chance to explore the cypress trees without needing to wade through the swamp.
If you’re traveling through Big Cypress and you want to take a detour, make sure to stop along Kirby Storter Roadside Park for a unique look at Florida’s swamplands.
If you’re ready to take a look at this spectacular state park, the address is 48900 Tamiami Trl E, Ochopee, FL 34141-2077. To find out more about Kirby Storter Roadside Park, visit the website here.
