The Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge is part of the United States National Wildlife Refuge System. The 26,400 acre refuge was established in 1989 under the Endangered Species Act, to protect the endangered Florida Panther, as well as other threatened plant and animal species.

To protect the panther and other endangered inhabitants, public use is only available at the southeast corner of the refuge, on designated hiking trails. All other areas can only be seen by way of limited tours.
