Each fall and spring, people watch the skies above Curry Hammock State Park for passing raptors.
Birdwatchers take note – this park's collection of hardwood hammocks, mangrove swamps, and wetlands makes it one of the best birding destinations in the country. Like many of the Keys’ state parks, Curry Hammock is part of the Great Florida Birding Trail. But it is also a site for Hawk Watch International’s raptor census, thanks to its prime location on the migratory path of some of the world’s most spectacular birds of prey. Swimming, snorkeling, fishing, camping, canoeing, and a playground make this a fun park for families.

Crane Point Hammock features the historic home of one of Middle Keys earlier settlers.
Crane Point is one of those special places that is as peaceful and relaxing as it is educational and entertaining. Whenever people go there they resolve to return soon, but it is never soon enough.
