Activity Information:
Activity Description
The serenity and isolation of remote islands have always captured man's imagination. Lignumvitae Key is no exception; to step ashore here is to take a step into the past.
Lignumvitae Kay Botanical State Park was once a small island common to those of Florida's Upper Keys. The island was purchased in 1919 by William J. Matheson, a Miami chemist. The Matheson House has changed little over the years.
The virgin tropical forest that thrives here is typical of the kind of scenery that was once enjoyed on most of Florida's upper Keys. As the Keys were developed to accommodate an increasing number of people, most of the unique vegetation was scraped away, making the natural tropical forest of Lignumvitae Key a very rare and special place.
Here, you walk in the shade of trees with strange names like mastic, strangler fig, poisonwood, pigeon plum and gumbo limbo. One hour ranger guided walks are given on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
What Is Not Included?
Food and drinks are not included ~ there is a restaurant on Robbie's property if you would like to have lunch before or after the tour.
The cost of admission includes your transportation by boat and the walking tour.
