We had a nice walk through a few of the trails today. There were some weird flying bugs which stay close to the ground, but they didn't bother us. Good thing because there were hundreds of them. The coral walls are fascinating. Great place if you like getting out for a walk. Check out my photos (#11 and 12).

fun little taste of quiet amongst the high energy Keys spots. Interesting to look at the geology and the practical use of coral in quarries.

Henry Flagler's stamp on Islamorada. Can see fossilized rock formation. Clearly identified self-guided tours with guided tours available. Diverse plant life.

This place has limited hours it's open and even more limited tour opportunities but it's definitely worth it to learn a bit about the history and the flora and fauna of the area. Really informative and you can't beat it for the reasonable price!

Eventually one of the trails will end up in an area with a view of the Florida Bay. On the trails,you'll see plenty of mangroves, gumbo limbo and poison wood and other trees that make up... More

We expected this would be a quick stop before heading to the beach but found it to be very interesting entertaining and educational. You must take the guided tour. It is only a hour long but you can learn so much from the guide it far surpasses the $3 price. This is the best value in the Keys. The knowledge... More

We were not sure what to expect on arrival at the park as had found very little about it in the guides. At the entrance we grabbed one of the self-guides and began our walking tour of the park. A number of routes are available to follow and in our 2 hour trip we managed to cover a fair portion... More
