Rookery Bay Facilities
The original site of Rookery Bay Reserve headquarters, the Shell Island Road field station and lab facility is located off State Road 951, about halfway between U.S. 41 and Marco Island. A dock with slips for 15 boats extends into Henderson Creek a short distance from the opening into Rookery Bay and Hall Bay.

Rookery Bay Reserve headquarters is located on Tower Road adjacent to Henderson Creek, upstream from the Shell Island Road facilities. Large and small conference rooms, as well as offices housing a majority of the 25 personnel employed at the reserve, are located in the headquarters building.

The Environmental Learning Center is located on Tower Road adjacent to the headquarters building. In addition to new staff lab facilities, visitor center and training wing, the new facility provides space for administrative and research offices.

Rookery Bay Reserve has two dormitory facilities for visiting researchers, educators, and resource managers - four beds in a restored gatekeeper's house on Goodland Bay and 12 beds at the lodge on Cannon Island.
