Manager's Message
The fall migration of birds is in full swing in the Florida Keys, and once again
HawkWatch International is in the park to count migrating raptors. The observers
see more Peregrine Falcons here than anywhere else in the country! Stop by their
observation site on the campground bathhouse deck for information about raptors
of all types. Visitors to our recent Birding and Wildlife Festival sighted many
raptors, including soaring Bald Eagles and falcons, and even had the pleasure of
watching a Northern Harrier hunt along our waterfront. Migrating birds and
cooling temperatures mean the start of camping season in the Keys. Our
campground re-opens for the winter on November 1, so please make your
reservations now through ReserveAmerica.

Welcome to Curry Hammock State Park
This park is made up of a group of islands in the Middle Keys, with public
access to swimming, a playground, picnic tables, grills, and showers on the
ocean side of Little Crawl Key. The hardwood hammocks found on these tropical
islands support one of the largest populations of thatch palms in the United
States. Mangrove swamps, seagrass beds, and wetlands provide vital habitats for
tropical wildlife.
Contact the Florida Park Service Information Center for general inquiries.
