- Posted January 13, 2026: Construction on the Cypress Creek (R&A Farms) restoration project began Wednesday, August 20, 2025. The site is located about one mile north of the Palm Beach County Cypress Creek trailhead on Indiantown Road in Jupiter Farms. The restoration area adjacent to the multiuse trail will be temporarily closed during construction.
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.
