This area located just south of the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge provides opportunities for hikers and bicyclists to view wildlife along miles of trails. Recreational freshwater fishing for bass, gar, catfish, and exotic species like clown knifefish in man-made lakes and canals attracts anglers to this area.

You may see deer, bobcats, alligators, native butterflies and snakes across the upland and wetland habitat. Bird enthusiasts will enjoy watching a variety of wading birds foraging in wetlands and raptors hunting over the marshes.
