(2026-02-19)

Elliott Key is the northernmost of the true Florida Keys - those 'keys' which are ancient coral reefs lifted above the present sea level - and the largest key north of Key Largo.[1] It is located entirely within Biscayne National Park, in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

Elliott Key was used on a transient basis for millennia by Tequesta Indians, and, in the 19th century, by fishermen and wreckers from the lower Florida Keys. The largest island in the park was once a thriving community of pioneers engaged in pineapple farming, sponging, wrecking, and other pursuits. Today the island offers camping, picnicking, wildlife watching and a hiking trail. There are no ferry services to the islands.

Eliott Key is only accessible by boat. No services are available on the island. Elliott Key is the park's largest island. Restrooms with sinks and cold water showers, picnic tables and grills are available. Drinking water is available, but bring water as a precaution if the system goes down. There are 33 boat slips in the marina.

Mill Ends Park is the smallest urban park in the United States. It consists of 1 tree, located in the median strip of SW Naito Parkway next to Tom McCall Waterfront Park along the Willamette River near SW Taylor Street in the downtown core of Portland, Oregon.

When the pole failed to appear and weeds sprouted in the opening, Dick Fagan, a columnist for The Oregon Journal, planted flowers in the hole and named it after his column in the paper, "Mill Ends". Fagan's office in the Journal Building overlooked the median in the middle of the busy thoroughfare that ran in front of the building. The park was dedicated on Saint Patrick's Day, 1976, as "the only leprechaun colony west of Ireland," according to Fagan.

Mr. Fagan was born in 1911, and died in 1969.
