Long Key State Park - nestled in the Middle Keys between Marathon and Islamorada - is a hidden gem that offers visitors a place to relax and enjoy outdoor recreation activities.

Long Key State Park and the surrounding waters afford visitors the opportunity to enjoy kayaking, hiking, snorkeling and fishing among many other activities. The Golden Orb trail is one of two hiking trails in the park that play host to unique plant communities and wildlife such as the white-crowned pigeon.

Looking for something different? Camp at one of our tent sites or enjoy a lazy afternoon in a hammock while taking in the breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Whether you are bird-watching or fishing the flats surrounding the park, Long Key offers something for everyone.
