Together, we protect, preserve and support Lovers Key State Park
Feel the Love
FOLKS is a non-profit citizen support organization (CSO) established to protect, preserve and support Lovers Key State Park.
We raise money to help the park, and volunteer time to repair fences, take out invasive plants, drive the tram, give lectures, work the gate and create podcasts.
We encourage you to join us in supporting our favorite state park. Get involved by becoming a member, volunteer or donor and bring your friends and family to our special events. Together, we can preserve our Florida coastal legacy and ensure that it is available for future generations.
The Dream: Phase I
A Vision for the Future
For the next year, we will be actively fund raising so that we can help the Florida Park Service build a state of the art visitor center to welcome the guests and show off what Lovers Key State Park has to offer. Find out how you can help!

This annual race brings athletes of all ages and abilities to enjoy a day in the park. It is also a fund-raiser for FOLKS, so runners can contribute to their personal health and fitness, and that of the beautiful landscape they traverse.
This unique trail course is truly one-of-a-kind......Runners and walkers trek through a shady maritime hammock ecosystem on a hard packed shell path along the Black Island Trail, climb a 38' hill, cross two bridges and reach a dramatic finish line at the beach. No part of the course requires running through beach sand.
The course ends at the park pavilion overlooking the beautiful beach where refreshments will be served and awards will be presented. Stick around after the race for a dip in the Gulf!!
