On Life Support Wayside overview
On Life Support Wayside
One of the main attractions of the On Life Support Wayside is its unique ecosystem, which is supported by the freshwater flow from the Everglades. Visitors can see a variety of plant and animal species that are adapted to the wetland environment, such as cypress trees, sawgrass, and alligators.
The Wayside also provides an opportunity for visitors to learn about the importance of protecting freshwater resources in Florida and the impact of human activities on the environment. Educational exhibits and interpretive signs explain the role of the Everglades in regulating the state's water supply and the challenges facing the ecosystem due to development and climate change.
In addition to its educational and scenic value, the On Life Support Wayside also offers recreational opportunities such as hiking, birdwatching, and photography. Visitors can walk along the boardwalk and take in the panoramic views of the surrounding wetlands or explore the nearby trails for a more immersive experience.
Overall, the On Life Support Wayside is a valuable destination for anyone interested in the natural wonders of Florida and the importance of preserving its delicate ecosystem.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
