At present, recreational facilities or trails have
not been developed on this site in order to protect the site's
sensitive natural resources. A rest stop for non-motorized paddlers
and bicyclists is currently being designed and constructed at Sammy
Creek Landing on Lower Sugarloaf Key and is expected to be opened
in 2011.
Dogs are prohibited, except that dogs not normally
used for hunting and kept under restraint may be possessed. No
