Ohio Key

Ohio Key is an island in the lower Florida Keys.

U.S. 1 (or the Overseas Highway) crosses the key at approximately mile marker 39, between Missouri Key and Bahia Honda Key.

It was once known as Little Duck Key, however the name Little Duck Key is currently used for a very small island about a mile east that is the western terminus of the Seven Mile Bridge.

Today it is also known as Sunshine Key, after a camping resort located there.

The portion of the island south of US Route 1 is protected as the Ohio Key National Wildlife Refuge.

Famous quotes containing the words ohio and/or key:

    Heaven is not one of your fertile Ohio bottoms, you may depend on it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    You have many choices. You can choose forgiveness over revenge, joy over despair. You can choose action over apathy.... You hold the key to how well you make the emotional adjustment to your divorce and consequently how well your children will adapt.
    Stephanie Marston (20th century)
