Exciting News: Construction Projects for Deerfield Island have been scheduled for 2018/2019
  
The beautiful mangrove boardwalk, damaged by Hurricane Wilma in 2005 and closed since then, will be rebuilt beginning in November. This trail, the "crown jewel" of Deerfield Island Park winds it ways through the mangrove areas, winter home to many wading birds.
 Reconstruction of the existing marina is scheduled for late 2018/2019. The existing docks will be updated to alleviate the problem with steep ramps to the boardwalk.
