Lakes and Wetlands

From the clear sandhill lakes of the “high” ridge, to the green life-filled lakes of the “valleys”, Florida’s lakes can seem innumerable, especially when viewed from the air. The lakes give way to marshes wetlands dominated by herbaceous plant species, then to swamps, which can be described as wetlands with trees.  Nearer the coastal areas salt water marshes are affected by tidal motions and are sporadically covered with water.
