Are you boating or trailering down?

Sounds like fun. Maybe a possibility. We have been to Pennekamp a lot. I was looking at a goggle map and where is the channel to get in and out of the campground?

Pennekamp State Park is on the southwest edge of Largo Sound, which is on the eastern, or ocean side of Key Largo. The state park has a boat ramp, boat basin, and a store with limited fishing and camping supplies. If you are in the boat basin at the park and look to the south you will see a marked channel. Follow this channel until it hits a larger channel (don't worry, you will know you are there when you see all the boat traffic). If you turn southwest (right) into this larger channel and follow it, you will end up in the Atlantic four miles due west of the Cannon Patch reef which is excellent for snorkeling. If you follow the larger channel northeast (left turn coming out of the Pennekamp channel) you will almost immediately be in Largo Sound. Follow the channel markers for about a mile and a half and look for a very large red buoy to your left along the shoreline. This marks the entry to Adam's cut which will take you from Largo ound into Blackwater Sound. The cut is a neat ride with some very interesting houses backing right up onto the cut.
