This area was once slated to become a condominium development! We’re so glad that never came to pass because it would have meant tearing down one of the largest tracts of West Indian tropical hardwood hammocks in the United States!
Dagny Johnson State Park, for short, houses 84 different protected species of plants and animals. These include wild cotton, mahogany mistletoe, and the American crocodile. Walk the Port Bougainville Trail to see these incredible creatures or go on a trek with a Ranger to guide you!
The Port Bougainville trail begins at the park’s main entrance where you’ll hear warblers playing and flitting by. Small birds fly through the bushes and you can see spider webs glistening in the morning dew. When you look up, you’ll see the incredibly extensive tree canopy making this one of the best things to do in Key Largo.
