The jungle-like Loxahatchee River (Turtle River) winds through the park. You can bring or rent canoes, kayaks or motorized boats. The Loxahatchee Queen II is available for 4 daily trips up the Loxahatchee River to Trapper Nelson's former Zoo and Jungle Garden which is really a fun thing to do. We saw alligators, turtles, anhinga and osprey. The ride up the narrow cypress lined winding river was very jungle like. The Loxahatechee is one of two National Wild and Scenic Rivers in Florida, receiving the distinction in May 1985. They have a full campground. Also, you can climb Hobe Mountain Observation Tower for a great view of the ocean, the park and the inter coastal waterway. Pick up the book in the gift shop "LIfe and Death on the Loxahatchee" for a fascinating read about Trapper Nelson. Enjoy!
