Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park

Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park is a Florida State Park located in the center of Key Largo in the Florida Keys. The park contains one of the largest tracts of West Indian tropical hardwood hammock in the United States and is home to 84 protected species of plants and animals, including wild cotton, mahogany mistletoe, and the American crocodile. The park has over six miles of nature trails, which provide opportunities for birdwatchers and photographers. Most of the park's trails are paved and accessible to both bicycles and wheelchairs. The park is also crucial to the survival of endangered species such as the Key Largo woodrat and the Key Largo cotton mouse. Ranger-led interpretive hikes are offered, and are especially valuable for a good introduction to tropical hammock species
