Observation Tower
Observation Tower Review
At the Shark Valley trail's end (really, the halfway point of the 15-mi loop), you can pause to navigate this tower, first built in 1984, spiraling 50 feet upward. Once on top, the River of Grass gloriously spreads out as far as your eye can see. Observe water birds as well as alligators, and perhaps even river otters crossing the road. The tower has a wheelchair-accessible ramp to the top.

Can you recommend this or would you recommend somewhere else that might have a tropical island feel?
Thanks Read more
