Manager's Message
Great news! The dock at Indian Key is finally completed and we had a very successful Grand Reopening on October 4th. Even though the weather was less than ideal, almost 175 people joined us compliments of the Friends of the Islamorada Area State Parks, Inc., our volunteer organization. One can easily conduct a self-guided tour of the island with the help of the interpretive plaques we have at different locations.
So, come out, see our brand new dock and enjoy the remains of a town that existed in the early 1800s!

Welcome to Indian Key Historic State Park
In 1836, Indian Key became the first county seat for Dade County. At that time, this tiny island was the site of a lucrative business-salvaging cargo from shipwrecks in the Florida Keys. Accessible only by canoe or kayak, visitors come here to swim, sunbathe, and hike. Fishing is also a popular activity. Boat and kayak rentals are available from Robbie's Marina at (305) 664-9814. Located on the oceanside of U.S. 1 at Mile Marker 78.5.
Contact the Florida Park Service Information Center for general inquiries.
