Review:
Mound Key Archaeological State Park spans 113 island acres along Estero Bay in the city of Estero, protecting one of the state's most important archaeological complexes, which dates back to its indigenous and early Spanish eras. The park, which is overseen as part of the Florida state park system, preserves unearthed ceremonial mounds that are believed to have served as a significant civic center for the region's Calusa indigenous people prior to the arrival of Spanish explorers in the area. Since 1970, the park has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places to preserve the sensitive mound structures. Visitors can access the park from nearby Koreshan State Historic Site or Lovers Key State Park and peruse its interactive informational trail, which details the historical significance of the mounds.
