The park is less than 20% of the Everglades. There is plenty of public

That is not what the guys are saying around here. The amount of
unrestricted public land is rapidly approaching zero (the government
owns or controls more than just that one park).
There is certainly some privately owned land in the swamp that hasn't
been drained for sugar but it is not "public access". Even those
people are getting government pressure. ~10 years ago was the last
time I was on an airboat and even then they were complaining about how
few place we could go.

EGNP is owned by the US government. The rest is owned by the state
except for some that is owned/controlled by the Native Americans.
The state is becoming as restrictive as the feds. Big Cypress,
Fakahatchee strand and Picayune strand are all limiting ORVs of all
types


Including airboats?

Yup they are choking down the areas people can run.

complaining about.

I did a Google search on them and found some stuff from 2010. I
narrowed it down to the last month and didn't see anything on the first
few pages. I'm not saying it isn't true, I would just like to see
what's going on.

It has been a while since I talked to the Everglades City guys I now
but they are always griping that the places they can go and the things
they can do keep getting smaller
