Closure Notification
Posted August 14, 2025: Construction on the Cypress Creek (R&A Farms) restoration project will begin Wednesday, August 20, 2025. The multiuse trail along Gulfstream Road, open to hikers, cyclists, and equestrians, will remain accessible to the public. However, the restoration area adjacent to the trail will be closed due to construction. The restoration site is located approximately one mile north of the Palm Beach County Cypress Creek trailhead on Indiantown Road in Jupiter Farms.
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.
