Florida Permit Areas

Pick a wilderness permit area to browse its entry-point passes.

Florida's wilderness paddling centers on Everglades National Park, where backcountry chickees, ground sites, and beach sites are reserved by itinerary on recreation.gov. The winter dry season is peak demand, and popular chickees book out fast.

Florida wilderness permits on recreation.gov are led by Everglades National Park, where high-demand passes sell out for peak dates. Permit Ranger watches every pass in the state and alerts you the moment a sold-out date opens.
