Loxahatchee River/Cypress Creek Management Area

South Florida’s first federally designated Wild and Scenic River, the seven-mile Northwest Fork of the Loxahatchee, begins its journey at Palm Beach County’s Riverbend Park. You can rent a canoe or kayak at the park and explore the serene, cypress-soaked waters of the tannin-stained river. The river meanders north through the District’s Loxahatchee River/Cypress Creek Management Area and then on to Jonathan Dickinson State Park.

A two-mile segment of the Ocean to Lake Trail goes through Riverbend. Look for trail signs. Take advantage of the numerous nature trails as well. Bicycling, fishing and picnicking are also available.

For more information, please call the District Recreation Hotline at 866-433-6312 or email recreation@sfwmd.gov.

Directions

  • Loxahatchee River/Cypress Creek Management Area Parking: Located on Gulfstream Road off the north side of Indiantown Road (SR 706). The area can also be accessed from Riverbend Park via a bridge under SR 706.
