National Wildlife Refuge - Florida

The Crocodile Lake National Wildlife Refuge is located in north Key Largo, less than 40 miles (64 km) south of Miami off SR 905 (Card Sound Road). It was established in order to protect critical breeding and nesting habitat for the threatened American crocodile and other wildlife. This area also includes 650 acres (2.6 km2) of open water in and around the refuge. In addition to being one of only three breeding populations of the American crocodile, the refuge is home to tropical hardwood hammock, mangrove forest, and salt marsh.
