Long Key State Park
About Long Key State Park
A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER
Catherine Close
Winter in the Florida Keys is a wonderful time to enjoy the outdoors. As the temperature drops throughout the nation, migratory birds find their way to our great island park. Birding is great throughout the walking and canoe trails, providing opportunities to see all types of species.
During the winter months, the park also offers interpretive programs on Wednesday and Thursday mornings at 10:00 a.m. Every Wednesday, come walk our 1.2-mile Golden Orb Trail with one of our knowledgeable rangers. Thursday’s interpretive programs are our Ranger’s Choice, which may be a shoreline walk, canoe or kayak tour.
Whether you come for our interpretive programs, or to explore the park on your own, the winter is a great time of year to enjoy “...the Real Florida” at Long Key State Park.
