Grove Trail
About This Trail
A 1/2 mile out-and-back trail that ends at a historic fruit grove of key lime and mango trees. Easy, mostly even terrain, partly shaded, good for birds and butterflies. If you’ve ever wondered where Key limes came from, there were once groves and orchards on the Florida Keys.The half mile Grove Trail at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park leads from the mangroves along the picnic area adjoining the parking lot through a tropical hammock to one of the historic groves of Key Largo.

Hike it Baby Trail Guide is managed by the Family Trail Guide team. If a trail has been “abandoned” by the initial owner, it gets adopted by the team. Also, if there are no trails in the area, the Family Trail Guide team researches trails that are family friendly in the area to insure that hikes cover all areas where Hike it Baby hikes.
