Florida Spectacular
Florida Keys Spectacular Episode 1: Florida State Parks We Love in the Upper Keys
Florida does an amazing job with state parks, and perhaps this is best showcased in the Florida Keys. In the inaugural episode, take a tour of some of Brad and Cathy's favorite state parks in the Upper Keys.
State Parks to Visit in the Florida Keys
• Dagny Johnson Key Largo Botanical State Park for hiking and the chance of seeing the endangered woodrat.
• Windley Key Fossil Reef State Park for the hiking and the history (they have ranger-led tours)
• Indian Key State Park for the history, solitude, lack of mosquitoes, and snorkeling. Paddle out to the island (which has no facilities). Snorkel the patch reef and grass flats by the island.
• Lignumvitae Key Botanical State Park for ranger-led tours, history, and the chance to see one of the last virgin West Indian hardwood hammocks.
