Darwin's Place
About this site
This flat clearing was a homestead built from shell and cement by Arthur Darwin, who lived there from 1945 to 1971. He was the last private resident on Park lands. Artifacts from the site can still be seen and are protected. Tie your vessel securely. The island is also known as Opossum Key named because of the great number of opossums killed on the island. Before this, it was known as Chevelier Place, named after Jean Chevelier, a plume hunter who lived here. There is no dock and the Wilderness Waterway is used frequently by passing boaters. Additional Info: Amenities include beach/water access, benches/seating, picnic table, scenic view/photo spot, and vault/composting toilet.
