Notes

Abstract:
The Turner River is a small natural meandering stream originating within the mixed cypress swamps of the Big Cypress National Preserve and eventually emptying into the Chokoloskee estuary in Everglades National Park. This 9 mile-long river is special due to the relative paucity of such streams in the Everglades marsh and cypress swamp systems of south Florida. Experiencing the Turner River is to feel the jungle-like swamp hardwoods of its headwaters, the twisting and turning of its flow path through the open, wet prairies and the ultimate glide into the saline mangrove lined lower reaches as the freshwaters empty to the Gulf of Mexico.
