A-1 Flow Equalization Basin (A-1 FEB)

Closure Notification

The SW levee and the NW levee at the A1 FEB in Palm Beach County are currently closed. The SW levee will be closed until end of 2025. Visitors can view this map of A-1 FEB to avoid areas with construction activities. Please check back for updates.

The A-1 Flow Equalization Basin (A-1 FEB) is an amazing place to enjoy the sights and sounds of vibrant wildlife and abundant natural landscapes. If you are seeking adventure or family fun, you can enjoy activities such as kayaking, bicycling, and wildlife viewing from approximately 30 miles of levees. The geography of the A-1 FEB makes it excellent for kayaking and canoeing.

The recreation area is open all day on Fridays through Sundays for regularly permitted activities.

Hunting is managed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Visit myfwc.com for hunting dates, regulations and detailed license information.
