Absolutely beautiful park. There are plenty of trails for walking, running, biking, and horseback riding. They say no pets are allowed but I saw many (well-behaved) dogs so they must not be too strict about it, at least on weekends.The addition of the kayak and canoe rental center is phenomenal. The rates are fair is renting is hassle free. The river has so many winding paths and calmer bays to look for alligators, turtles, and rare birds. I spent 5 hours on the waterways and 6 hours hiking and still didnt see everything the park has to offer.Its the perfect place for both tourists and locals to spend time in nature, picnic, fish, barbecue, or exercise. Im so happy to have this park in my community.

This is a regular outting for my family and me. They have bicycle and walking trails, kayaking and picnic areas and restrooms at different locations within the park. Some of your restrooms are portable and some are in buildings.Please note this a trash free park. There are no trash cans, but small plastic bags are hanging by picnic areas for your usage to take the trash with you.There are bike, kayak and canoe rentals at affordable prices. Its a really nice place to take your family for picnics and outdoor exercise. Picnic pavalions are available with grills for your use.Also, its best to go early if you plan to cycle all the trails because of the heat; however, Reese Trail seems to offer more shade than the rest when cycling.Weve seen does and bucks, raccoons, turkeys, peacocks, even alligators and lots of squirrels during our visits.

Some great views of nature up close and Rod and the guys were super friendly and even overlooked us getting back later. My kids had a hard time because of the mosquitoes. Still it was a good lesson in adversity for them along with stress of learning to row and coordination.

Went with a friend she rented a kayak from the vendor there at Riverbend park, the paddle down is quite nice current moves you along slowly but does pick up in spots so you have to pay attention also a couple of areas where it gets submerged trees make it a little tricky. The scenery is wonderful bring your camera for the cypress, turtles and alligators. Ill be back again real soon.

My husband and I rode bicycles throughout the bike trails. The park has an abundance of trees and wildlife. You can rent bikes, canoes or kayaks at the Jupiter Outdoor Center located within the park. The park offers approx. 15 miles of hiking and biking trails mostly canopied, 7 miles of equestrian trails and 5 miles of canoeing/kayaking trails. Therere many tiki huts and grills throughout the park. Also, there are maps placed throughout the trails which you will need them to get bearing. (Without maps or GPS, you can get lost, seriously....) When visiting the park, keep the following in mind.* No pet allowed except service animals.* No trash left behind. No trash receptacles.* No amplified sound (i.e. boom box, large speakers, PA system, DJs, bands, etc.)* No bounce houses, water slides or golf carts.If you are a true-nature lover, this park is a must-to-visit!

Place is great to kayak, however, it is very easy to get lost! I wish the park would invest in signs to put in the water to make it easier to navigate.

Great place to go canoeing but watch out for the alligator. The park also holds a historical battlefield from the Seminole Wars and had yearly re-enactments.

Review №17

The park was a bit wet but always buetiful. The wild life was abundant. 5000 years of Native American, Military and pioneer history at the park seem to create a sence of antiquity. It is easy to imagine that the spirits of the Native Americans still reside at the Loxahatchee.

Such a beautiful and big park for those who want to rent canoes, bicycle, walk, picnic, etc. A little-known treasure. Especially enjoyed the recent Seminole war reenactment. Bring mosquito repellant just in case!

Great river and always a fun time. I come here every year when I come to see my family in Florida. It is a great family tradition that we always enjoy. Look out for the wildlife though, you can spot turtles and other cool creatures.

This is a beautiful and historic place. It has lots of great walking and biking trails as well as some of the best Kayaking through Cypress Swamps in South Florida. Pavilions, grills, everything. Lots of wildlife with Deer, Turkeys, Birds, Alligators etc... I very highly recommend you visit.

Free Seminole War Battlefield TourTaken together, the Seminole Wars were the longest, most deadly and expensive Indian Wars in United States history. Lake Worth Florida is named for General William J. Worth, who led U.S. forces during the last part of the Second Seminole War (1835-1842). The last large engagement of the Second Seminole War occurred near Jupiter Florida on January 24, 1838. From October through May the Loxahatchee Battlefield Preservationists conducts free guided tours of the Battlefield every Saturday at 10am.

What a great park to go and explore native Florida. From the wildlife to the fauna. Also theres a lot of history to be learned, its about the Seminole Wars and a lot of the officers who served in the union army then ultimately fought in the Civil War.
