PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Phyllis Kharehttps://rvlifestyle.com/fort-mose/
Fort Mosé is a small Florida fort established when Spain was ruling, slavery was flourishing in the US colonies farther north, and because slaves were much less harshly treated by the Spaniards, there was a constant flow of escapees coming into Florida. Enslaved people who made it across the border had the option of securing their freedom by converting to Catholicism and agreeing to a term of military service. This state park tells the history in its museum, also there is a place for canoes, kayaks, bird viewing.
10. Long Key State Park
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:Phyllis KhareLong Key State Park was once the home of the upscale Long Key Fishing Camp. It was a mecca for the world’s saltwater anglers before it was wiped out by a hurricane in 1935. The state park officially reopened in 1969.
Unfortunately, it was also significantly damaged in 2017 by Hurricane Irma and recovery efforts are still ongoing.
There are two nice hiking trails here. The Golden Orb Trail, named after the Golden Silk Orbweaver spider, is a leisurely
1.5-mile walk and the Layton Trail is a quick 15-minute walk along the bay.
The shallow shorelines here also make for great paddling. If you can, try to get out on the water! Kayaks are available for rent from the Ranger Station. The cost is $17.50 for a single and $21.50 for a double for 2 hours.
Call or check ahead for this State Park as the campgrounds were closed for construction in June 2021.
On Grassy Key, you can spend the day with dolphins and sea lions at the Dolphin Research Center!
