Huge beautiful park with gorgeous trails and scenery. Just a peaceful and amazing place to be. Very relaxing. Hike or Bike for miles along the numerous trails or kayak along the Loxahatchee river! Bring your own or rent one! They rent bikes here too! Enjoy the photos I have taken over the years.

Last week I tagged along with kids and grand kids. Went to River Bend Park. The view is AWESOME! In spots the river is narrow and has a canopy of trees overhead. Made for pleasant weather. The current was moving fairly fast, so we ended up bouncing from side to side. Hilarious! In some spots there were vines hanging down to the river, we went through those as well. I love the fact that we could park our truck and put our canoes in the water without paying a fee. What an adventure. I highly recommend making a trip to Riverbend Park.

Great place for biking, kayaking, and walking. You can rent bikes and kayaks easily. Lots available even on a beautiful Sunday.

Very nice and friendly park, the bicycle riders arent egotistical like most parks around and everyone else is very nice and kind. Clean bathrooms and nice long paths. Many nice places for a picnic as well.

My friend took me here & it was AWESOME! we saw alligators, snakes, turtles, birds & some manatees on our 10 mile kayaking adventure. We both flipped & almost pooped our pants(in fear of becoming something elses poop!) but are both fine & better versed in staying up.

Hidden treasure! Riverbend Park is one of my favorite destinations for kayaking and biking in Palm Beach County. It’s stunning, vast, and offers is incredible encounters with wildlife. Have seen so many deer, birds, gators and other amazing creatures there over the years.The river is perfect for a day of canoeing or kayaking to disconnect from city life. You can bring your own or rent them on-site with Jupiter outdoor center. $35 for a day on the river is super reasonable. They also offer discounts for Palm Beach residents, so make sure to ask.The park offers many biking, walking or hiking trails and loops. The bathrooms in facilities are well maintained and the park rangers are very nice.Sadly, they do not allow pets on the grounds.

I went on a kayak trip. It was amazing being outdoors kayaking down the river! Never done kayak before and it was a real adventure. If you dont know how to kayak, at least a little bit, I recommend to go with someone who knows. Not gonna lie, it could be dangerous, but its fun!

The most amazing park that weve been to. Endless trails traversing and following the Loxahatchee River. Wildlife all around. Spectacular place.

Beautiful day kayaking, winding through the canopy of Cypress trees, picnicking, and swimming at several points throughout.If it is your first time, remember that there is a current that carries you down, but youll have to paddle against it coming back. Paddling back is easier in a tandem kayak and, if youre renting, come before they sell out. If your only tandem option is a canoe, see if they will give you kayak paddles instead of the canoe paddles.

The paddle was interesting. Ive never gone down a moving a river and then turned around to come back up. Dont expect to see much wildlife, because theres people everywhere. Still very beautiful and a fun day out.

Had a great first time experience here. Only thing I wished there were water fountains as it was HOOOTTTTT but thankfully we brought some. Also, found it odd that there were no trashcans anywhere BUT there were lots of signs stating why and it was totally understandable. Didnt rent any kayaks or anything-just walked around and it was very enjoyable. Also, all people we encountered were physically distancing so that was a big plus!!

One of the best parks in the region. Plenty of scenic walking trails, plus canoeing, cayaking, bike rentals and a community center with good bathrooms. Plenty of parking areas, picnic tables, and a few bridges to watch the river tributaries. Closes at sunset, opens at sunrise.

My favorite Park in Florida with so much Native American history. You get to see their campgrounds and where the battlefields took place while they defended against attackers. But overall, beautiful place.

What a great place to kayak! There are a few slow rapids and beautiful wildlife.Andrew is always so helpful and friendly!Thanks

Great Park with tons to do. Bring your bike to ride the trails or just hike them all and enjoy the beauty of the trees and wildlife. Make sure to bring sunscreen and bug spray. Bike and kayak rentals are available. They run out quickly on the weekends so make sure to get there early.Geocaching is also a favorite at this park. Dont forget to check out the really cool old saw mill and ruins that are scattered around. Portable potties are available throughout hiking and biking trails.

We live in East Delray Beach Florida but we love to drive to this park all the times.Everytime we get there we have the fortune to see and appreciate the wild life and nature. We really love this park and all the amenities this park offers like kayaking, biking, walking, and many more.

This place is beautiful! The staff is super friendly and professional. Ive come here many times over the years and its always a good time. I brought my brother and sister to enjoy the river thinking they would love it too. They werent very experienced with kayaking so they flipped over a couple of times, losing a phone and some expensive glasses. They were frustrated and wanted to leave.Bonnie, being very considerate of our situation, gave us a refund. We were so grateful because I had payed for 2 hours and only lasted 20 min.Another incident was when I left my debit card and glasses in the kayak. One of the workers returned it and made my day as well.I highly recommend this place. Just make sure to be prepared with waterproof equipment otherwise, leave things you dont want wet at your car when kayaking or canoeing. Also the river can be a little tight at times so just make sure you know how to move around a kayak otherwise youll likely end up crashing into some spider webs possibly freaking out and end up in the water lol

Wonderful local scenic spot, great trails for running and biking. Fun kayak tours, good spot for picnics and photos. Ample parking

We spend a whole day here we had so much fun adventures. I love it!

Very nicely made natural area. Great place to hike and see some native animals.

Large park with plenty of parking and picnic tables. Nice waterway for kayaks. A good outdoor getaway for locals.

Gorgeous. Mostly shaded. Walk, run, bike, kayak, picnic...Its all there.

This park is filled with history and I love that the Parks and Recreation Department offers so many educational experiences for children. I have attended education days for Pioneer Day and The Battle of the Loxahatchee. Both were well organized and seek to provide hands-on experiences that transport the children back in time. Whether you want to have a picnic, explore the trails by foot/bike, or simply just relax there is something at Riverbend Park for you.

Very pretty small Park that offers, walking trails, gravel trails, biking rentals, kayaks, horses ...bathrooms were clean. Only thing is that runners share the same path as cyclists and you have to be careful.. Im a runner and a cyclists, and Ive encountered hostile runners as well as cyclists.. not all the time ppl coming behind you may call up when theyre approaching you, or when theyre coming towards you, they may not move...best time is early early in the a.m before the crowds get there. For these reasons I prefer, Jonathan Dickinson park

I love this park. Great bike and horse trails. A spot to rent kayaks, there also picnic tables and barbecue grills. Very scenic as well !!

Is my first time in this park and so far I was able to spot 2 alligator while kayaking and a family of deers while getting ready to walk out the park there is walking and bike tracks as well.

Great time. Take the canoe. With kids go left.

The kayaking on the Riverbend trail is very unique as it has a few dams that offer mini rapids. You feel very immersed in the Florida wildlife and can even spot some manatees! Locals seem to love it too so it may be quite busy on the weekends. The staff were very helpful and accommodating

Visited the park for my grandfathers 87th birthday. The park has upgraded a lot of the facilities and for the better. Everything is accessable and easy to get to. Nice path around the park for biking or walking, boat access as well.

Nice shady park. Great place to see wildlife.

Beautiful place to walk and get some peace and quiet. Bug spray is a good idea. I didnt even get to see a quarter of this place but hopefully I will in the future.

The loxahatchee river canoe trail is awesome. Open, wide sections, tight sections with complete canopy coverage, cool bridges, tight tunnels, tons of wildlife, and if you time it right, a fun waterfall to go over :)

What a great Experience!!! We find this place by accident, and we had a great time. The bike trails are huge, and all flat. Very family, all ages friendly. A lot of shady areas, river side rides and Kayak and canoe renting. We rent a couple of canoes and paddle for one one. We had to leave the park because we didnt bring enough water and we got hungry after all the activities. We saw a snake having lunch a mouse, a couple of deer, turtles, different birds. Unfortunately we couldnt see a alligator. Great place, youll love it!!!

Amazing park for a nature day. Hiking, biking, equestrian and canoeing. Trails wind for miles easily accessible and well maintained. Multiple typical florida ecologies. Cypress swamps, ponds, scrub forrest trails, big pines and water around every corner. Bring a picnic stay for the day.

Awesome park the people were very friendly. Well maintained. Good job.

This is the first Park that Ive ever seen that said no pets but I realized it was because of their many different species of wildlife. Their were also many historical markers describing events that happened in this area during the Seminole war. Even though I did a quick drive through I really could see the historical charm of this quaint park.

Awesome biking trails good for all ages!

We had brought our own paddle board and kayak and launched at the Canoe lunch area. They also have a rental location for kayaks and canoes near the entrance, the large bathroom near the entrance was also very clean. My suggestion is to bring water, watershoes because in some areas you need to get out and I suggest bringing long sleeve short, and a face shield in some shaded areas bugs could get bad and especially towards sunset. The current is going to be strong after it rains,

We love to picnic here with friends and family. Bike rides are easy even for my son on training wheels. Lots of nature. The river is a fun canoe trip. Bring bug spray and sunscreen.

My wife and I really enjoyed this place when we first visited a couple of months ago. My only regret is that I didnt spend any time reading about the history of the area before we went. Wont make that mistake again. We plan on returning again and again as this is our new favorite venture spot to visit. Highly recommend for those looking to picnic, bike, walk or those interested in history.

Fabulous! This place is magical!

Its a great place to kayak couple hours is worth it. Great scenery. We did see manatees while on our kayaks

This is one of the best parks in South Florida. We mainly go for the bike trails, but you can also fish, ans go canoeing and kayaking. If you dont have a canoe, kayak or bike you can rent one for a few hours or for the day. If you are walking or cycling you can partake in the picnic areas. There are plenty to choose from, but only a few will have a portable restroom near them. If you think youll have to use the restroom on your outting, make sure you have your own tissue.Also, if you have a picnic you must take your trash with you for there are no trash bins at the park.There is also plenty of wildlife animals to view in the park, lots of trails and shade. Its a great park for the family to spend the day. Highly recommended.

This place is awesome!!! rent the bikes and I highly recommend the electric bike. It is absolutely beautiful it may be my favorite park ever! And that says a lot. Worth noting the trails nice and wide easy walking or bike riding. Did not do the kayaks there but they look like a blast as well. Seems to be good for any age group. Also epic wild life

Great park, lots of trails to explore, easy for bike ride or walk, fishing, canoeing & enjoy nature, if you do trails at night be sure to bring a good flashlight, a map or a reliable GPS !!!Not too many trash cans around so please take your trash back with you.Cleanest public restrooms Ive ever seen, congrats.

Very clean and nice place. The staff is always excellent and courteous. The wife and I love coming here for a quick day getaway.

Even though it is easy to access it is still a hidden gem. The Loxahatchee River is a designated wild and scenic river and you can paddle around the park or make a day of it to Trapper Nelsons and Johnathan Dickinson Park. So many treasures: wild deer, turkey, otters, alligators. Perfect for running, walking, horseback riding, cycling.

Such a great walk! Many more trails but not enough time!

Beautiful, quiet and tranquil. Perfect for walking by yourself or others (including little ones!), Stroller and bikes. Love the option for bike and kayak rentals!

Great place to get away from it all.Nice long trails. The park is well maintained.

My new favorite park. Plenty of trails picnic areas, rental bikes & canoes /kayaks... You could go there every week and explore something new. Even when it is crowded on the weekend you can still find trails that arent occupied.

Best bike trails around. Lots of shade. You can kayak or canoe here as well. Oh and the park is free!!!

Great place to hike around. Just moved to the area and enjoyed the park. We will definitely come back.

A fantastic park! I attended the Picnic Island Ultra here. Beautiful trails. Kayak rentals. Pavilions with multiple picnic tables. Wildlife galore. Just gorgeous! Even saw a wild turkey as I left!

One of the better parks Ive been too.

Beautiful wonderful place ...friendly people walking and biking ....enjoying nature

The entire park is awesome whether youre looking to go canoeing and kayaking, picnicking, hiking or biking.... miles of trails. numerous picnic tables spaced out throughout the park and plenty of natural wildlife to view

An absolutely magical place! A great place to forest bathe.

Its very nice, and theres lot of things that you can see, theres also deers and baby crocodile

Lovely park. Clean. Well mannered people. We love this park for cycling and walking.

Nice place plenty of bike trails lakes seen deer peacock bass plenty of places to stop and enjoy bring plenty of water to drink and snacks

Mild to wild Jupiter Outdoor Center at Riverbend Park offers bike and kayak rentals and guided eco tours and adventure camp

Beautiful but can get lost kayaking maps does not show waterways. So much to see . Loved it very much.

One of the most beautiful and scenic parks in this area. Very Old Florida with views of the Loxahatchee River, well maintained paths and trails, perfect for biking, hiking, walking and running. Boat launch for canoes, kayaks. We go there everyday to run and there are a variety of paths and trails in a natural setting to enjoy. Highly recommended!

Lots of fun to be had outdoors. Kayaking, fishing, biking or hiking its all here. A tip if you kayak or canoe have the outfitters pick up your gear at the end of the river because paddling upstream is quite challenging if your a beginner and or have small children kayaking as well. Overall a great experience!

Beautiful kayaking experience. Lots of fun and a bit of a challenge.

Very clean park, lots of picnic areas. Saw some awesome wildlife. There are bike and kayak rentals. Fun place for the family!

Loved the kayaking experience! Make sure you make a reservation ahead of time, and sign the waiver

My third visit there and still discovering new trails. Electric bike rentals available now worked great for my wife.

The park its great, beautiful river and lots of pathways to ride your bicycle or just walk.Nice picnic areas! Lots of shade since the place has a large collection of trees and exuberant vegetation.The big minus though are the prices they charge to rent canoes, kajaks or bicycles: $65 per 2 hours for a canoe! $20 per hour for a bicycle! The same for a kajak!Now if you happen to have your own its great. Therere very convenient places to launch your boats there.Overall I recommend the park very much!

Great place to bike, kayak and walk. Trails are wide. We rented bikes and spent 2 hours riding around the park. When back in the area, we will be sure to bike these trails again.

Amazing place historical significance to jupiter wars peaceful beautiful huge park

Nice park! Pretty chill place with kayak and bike rentals. Great way to get out and enjoy some air!

Looking for a day of peace and quiet in a beautiful setting? Want to be immersed in nature? Then this is the place to go.You can kayak or ride bikes or picnic or just walk the trails here.Well maintained trails and maps for guidance in several locations throughout the park. Safe and not too crowded.A wonderful location just West of I-95 and the turnpike in Jupiter, on Indiantown Rd.

My family and I had a great time canoeing. Highly recommend

Trails for days! Historical, beautiful and plenty to do. Great for families.

Great park. We saw deer walking the trail inches away from us. Trails well marked and maintained

A very nice park with canoe and bicycle rentals, lots of walking and biking trails, and numerous picnic areas. There are also some trails that are designated for horses, mainly around the edge of the park. The Ocean to Lake Trail goes through on the edge of the park, which is a connecter trail for the Florida National Scenic Trail, connecting to that at Lake Okeechobee and ending at the Ocean. Like a mini Florida Trail, it varies from nice dry trail to wading through the swamp and creeks. The park supposedly closes at sunset but there are a few parking spots at the entrance thadt are outside the gate if you are planning on returning to your vehicle after dark.

Great big park with wild life, canoes, bikes, trails! shade so you can wald. take pictures of various eild life.

As a local photographer, I think Riverbend is a gem. Beautiful trees covered in spanish moss that glow as the sun sets. Tons of little lakes and bodies of water. Dirt roads for bikes and running, and the park is huge! You can kayak, see wildlife or just have a picnic. I just highly recommend bug repellant, obviously ;)

If u want to scape and feel submerged in natures beauty u most go! Great place to spent time with family. With lots of activities to choose from

Amazing time!!! The staff at the office were so great.

This is one of my favorite places to study Floridas freshwater flora and fauna. Im never disappointed with my adventures here. A must see spot for any aquatic plant enthusiasts.

Great park, trails are the best for a family bike riding or walking

Top 5 park for hiking ive been too so far. No pets which sux but service dogs are ok. Some real good hiking here and wild life you will see.

This is a wonderful Park you can see the true beauty of Florida

Awesome park. Kayaked the Loxahatchee. Truly Beautiful park and River.

So many paths. Its like we take a different route every time were there. A lot of shady areas also.

A very pretty place

Very nice place to spend the day.

Tons to do. Cool stuff for whole family (unless you all only love xbox)

Awesome beautiful place to kayak. Full of nice nature loving people and wonderful scenery.

Lots of wildlife here. You get around most of the park by gravel forest road sized walks so its nice for an easy walk or bike ride. Great place for canoeing or kayaking on the Loxahatchee river.

Its as beautiful as advertised. Kayaking, Biking, walking picnicking, etc...worth the visit to see Florida at its finest!!

This place was terrible for shopping. I was not impressed with the selection and prices. But the views were great and relaxing!!

This park is amazing. Deer, peacocks, wild turkeys, gators, etc. The paths are very wide and mostly hard-packed limestone which makes riding bikes very easy and comfortable. You can spend hours biking or hiking through all the trails. The park is kept very clean and taken care of.

Best outdoor trails. Lots of shade

Beautiful. And theres manatees!!

Best hiking and biking in Palm Beach! Late winter is the best time, when its dry and temps are in the 80s. Nice maintained trails, and great place for canoeing when available. Lots of wildlife, which is fun to see. I love that there are so many trails, we were able to go a different path every time we went.

Riverbend and Loxahatchee Battlefield Park are truly an environmental and historical master piece located in Jupiter Florida. Miles of biking, hiking and paddling trail and waterways. The wild life is abundant and visable to visitors. 5000 years of Native American inhabitation,Two battles of the Seminole Wars on January 15 and 24, 1838 and the pioneer history of the park. Riverbend and Loxahatchee Battlefield Park are well worth the drive and is located one mile west of I95 and the Florida Turnpike on Indiantown Rd. 9060 Indiantown Rd. Jupiter, FL.mom
