Do I need a reservation to enter the park?

No general park-entry reservations are required; pay the standard entrance fee at the gate or use a digital pass.

Do I need a permit for backcountry camping?

Yes. Backcountry camping requires a permit obtained through Recreation.gov.

Advance booking is required for the Shark Valley Tram Tour.

Gates and entrances include Homestead (US-1), Shark Valley (US-41/Tamiami Trail), and Everglades City (Marjory Stoneman Douglas Visitor Center).

Pets are not allowed on most trails; check specific areas for allowances and ensure pets are restrained where allowed.
