About Mound Key Archeological State Park

Shell mounds rising more than 30 feet above Estero Bay form the core of this island, built up from accumulated shell, fish bone, and pottery midden deposits. The park manages 113 of the island's 125 acres, which sits near where the Estero River meets the bay. Access is only by water, since the site occupies its own island rather than connecting to the mainland shore.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
