This park seems abandoned. It's just a paved trail with a vault toilet, a few placards with the tree types, and LOTS of mosquitos. If you're a jogger it's a nice trail and maybe you can outrun the mosquitoes.

Who was Dagny Johnson? My daughter is visiting Key Largo and saw the sign. Dagny Johnson was my mother’s name, and we live in Wisconsin. I know Dagny is a Norwegian name, but I would love some info on this Dagny Johnson.

A "hammock" is a native Floridian word meaning: "a cool shady place." The forests protected by this park are called tropical hardwood hammocks.

Being a Swede, I wonder about the Scandinavian name Dagny Johnson: who is/was she ?

Anna Dagny Johnson was an environmental activist in the Florida Keys throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s. She led the Upper Keys Citizens Association, the Izaak Walton League and other environmental organizations that fought to stop the development that was planned for much of north Key Largo. In honor of her service, a 2,421-acre park was named in her honor.
