Mound Key Archaeological State Park
About Mound Key Archaeological State Park
A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER
Robert Brooks
Mound Key Archeological State Park is only accessible by boat so take advantage of the summer tides and take a relaxing trip out to the Key. Once on the Key you can walk over the middens that were once the center of great Calusa nation. Fishing is permitted on the key so bring a rod and try a cast or two (license required - for more information contact the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission at My FWC - License). As it is summer we highly recommended that you prepare a travel pack with water, sunblock, insect repellant and a snack if you make the trip out to the key. The staff at Koreshan State Historic Site will be glad to provide you with information for Estero Bay Preserve State Park, Koreshan State Historic Site, and Mound Key Archaeological State Park. Please contact the park on 1.239.992.0311.
