Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge

Florida Home | Florida Sitemap
Although it is difficult to find non-tourist flooded regions of the keys, Great White Heron does its best to focus on the native wildlife. It was established as a refuge for the massive amount of birds, fish and other wildlife that was native to the region but threatened by the tourism sprawl.

Check out the visitor’s center for extensive information on native plants and wildlife. After gaining a bit of knowledge, enjoy rental kayak, snorkel and scuba gear and indulge in some spectacular views. Great White Heron is one of the few islands left that is devoted strictly to the promotion of native Florida life.
