Visitors are advised to watch out for wildlife, fire personnel, and vehicles along roadways. Please drive cautiously, reduce your speed and turn on your headlights if you encounter smoke while driving. To ensure safety, people who are not part of the prescribed fire operation should avoid areas of active fire. Some sections of the park or roadways may be temporarily restricted for your safety. Prescribed burns are an important part of resource management at Everglades National Park. These burns will reduce vegetation adjacent to the highway and Shark Valley to protect public and park assets and maintain fire adapted ecosystems.
