Everglades Radio Network

Motorists travelling across Alligator Alley on I-75 from Naples, through the "River of Grass," The Florida Everglades, can tune in to the Everglades Radio Network on 98.7 WFLP-LP and FM 107.9 WFLU-LP. In addition to the well produced, taped broadcasts about the Everglade's history, heritage, flora and fauna, environmental issues, events and activities; you can hear live weather and traffic conditions.

A Press Release from the State of Florida indicates that 18,000 motorists cross Alligator Alley daily. This broadcast is a great teaching tool for anyone willing to listen, and can be very entertaining for children on the hour-long stretch of highway.

While listening, view an amazing variety of birds on the drive including: kingfishers, herons, ibis, wood storks, anhingas, hawks, osprey, turkey vultures and many more as you drive. Your passengers should see alligators at almost every clearing on the sawgrass banks, especially during the dry season - December through April. If you have the time, safely pull over and take a closer look for turtles, swimming otters, and other critters.
