9. Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge

BOYNTON BEACH.   A lesser-known northern section of the Everglades, the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge still has plenty to offer visitors. The reserve is home to the usual Everglades denizens: snakes, bobcats and birds, and the topography of this Boynton Beach attraction consists of beautiful swamps, marshes and prairies. This nature park near Miami offers ample space for visitors to hike, bike, canoe and experience Florida's natural beauty. Serving a dual purpose, the site also reserves water for emergencies and irrigation.   (© 10Best)
