The trail offers access to many points of interest and ecological resources throughout the Keys, including Everglades National Park, Biscayne National Park, Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, the Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge, Key Deer National Wildlife Refuge and Crocodile Lake National Wildlife Refuge, as well as 10 Florida State Parks. The trail and its historic bridges also provide a beneficial, alternative transportation route that links island communities in the Keys. The existing FKOHT is paved in segments along the corridor from Key Largo to Key West, with the longest, continuous section of paved trail located in the Upper Keys between MM 106 at Key Largo and through MM 72 at Islamorada, Village of Islands.

They are the Ohio-Missouri, Ohio-Bahia Honda, Missouri-Little Duck, Lower Sugarloaf and Niles. Please be advised that a few fishing bridges in this area have been closed for safety purposes.
