Long Key Canoe Trail

Description:

• Long Key Canoe Trail winds around a shallow water mangrove-lined lagoon. A smattering of mangrove islands adds interest to the route. The trail is truly an adventure for the nature lover. Before launching your canoe at the launch site located just inside the park entrance, obtain a canoe trail map from the ranger. The brochure details the route, the plant life and wildlife observed during the course of the trip. It is a good place to come upon statuesque wading birds. It is also a good place to fish for young snook that congregate in mangrove shallows.

  Other park amenities include canoe rental, campground, primitive chickees (wooden camping platforms), hiking trails and a slender swimming beach.
