West Lake View Point is a park located in Homestead, Florida, United States, offering stunning views of America's Everglades - the largest subtropical wilderness in the country. This institution serves as a gateway to the unparalleled landscape that provides habitat for rare and endangered species such as the manatee, American crocodile, and the Florida panther.
As a World Heritage Site, International Biosphere Reserve, and Wetland of International Importance, West Lake View Point is a specially protected area under the Cartagena Treaty. Visitors can explore the park during the dry season from December to April, which is the most popular time to visit.
In April, the park hosts a month-long celebration of the night sky, astronomy, science, and celestial bodies. In addition to ranger-led programs, visitors can also participate in tours offered by park partners and concessions. Activities range from easy walks and evening talks to hikes and paddling tours.
For boaters, the park offers a free education course to familiarize them with the unique features of the marine waters. Visitors can also learn about birdwatching opportunities in the park and the importance of Everglades restoration for its avian population. West Lake View Point is the perfect destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore the beauty of the Everglades.
Reviews
"Really cool boardwalk, very nice trail with good parking, and the scenery was nice. Saw a couple small birds. Nothing crazy"
"Great fishing lake. Kayak trail starts here. Water gets rough with just a little wind."
"Good amenities here. The boardwalk is composite better for accessibility. A little landing and marina for kayaking. Beautiful spot."
"I’m not sure it’s a marina? There are a couple docks to tie up a small boat. the board walk is quite nice."
"The sounds of night program by the park ranges was great. The boardwalk is nice. The lake is big. You can see lots of stars at night. There are lots of mosquitos near the entrance of the trail. Make sure you bring bug spray and wear long sleeve shirts and pants. The breeze by the lake keeps the mosquitos away."
