Riverbend Park

Jupiter

Paddle and hike the wild Loxahatchee River through cypress and Old Florida wilderness.

Riverbend Park spans roughly 680 acres along the Loxahatchee — Florida's first federally designated Wild & Scenic River. Rent a kayak or canoe to paddle through cypress forest, or explore miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding while spotting herons, turtles, and the occasional gator.

The area's go-to for Old Florida nature and paddling.
