Crane Point Museum and Nature Center

Crane Point protects a large tropical hardwood hammock in the middle of Marathon. Trails and boardwalks lead through the forest to the bay, passing the 1904 Adderley House, butterfly gardens and a tidal pool, and a small museum covers the natural and human history of the Keys.

It is one of the few places in the Middle Keys to take a long shaded walk. Bring water and bug spray, and allow a couple of hours to reach the point and back.
