Find a Park

High bluffs overlooking the Apalachicola River make Torreya one of Florida's most scenic places. The park is named for an extremely rare species of Torreya tree that grows only on the bluffs along the Apalachicola River.

Formed of Key Largo limestone, this land was sold to the Florida East Coast Railroad, which used the fossilized coral to build Henry Flagler's Overseas Railroad in the early 1900s.

This site was an important military position during the Civil War, allowing access to the inland areas of Florida's east coast.
