Florida Keys Scenic Highway
Key Deer National Wildlife Refuge, FL

The National Key Deer Refuge is the habitat of the tiny Key Deer that average 2.5 feet high and 90 lbs. A nature trail winds through the protected pinelands of the refuge, where the deer roam freely. They are best seen at dawn or dusk in the field at the far end of Key Deer Boulevard about 3 miles from the highway. Don’t forget to stop at the Blue Hole, the Key's largest body of fresh water, home of fish, turtles and alligators, to climb the observation tower.
