This place is an absolute gem in Palm Beach County -- a stunning 1.5-mile boardwalk winding through…read more100 acres of constructed wetlands, and every step of the way there is something to take in. Informational plaques are posted throughout, making it easy to learn about the native trees and bird species you encounter along the walk. The boardwalk is also stroller and wheelchair friendly, so it truly is a place for everyone! Come prepared: hat, sunscreen, and binoculars are a must, and don't forget your walking shoes. If you live nearby and love the outdoors, this is also the perfect spot to get your steps in while soaking up nature and staying active -- a workout that doesn't feel like one! My husband and I originally planned a quick visit and ended up staying for nearly three hours -- this place has a way of pulling you in. We chose to walk the boardwalk first and save the nature center for last, but if you're visiting from out of area or just want more context before you explore, I'd recommend flipping that order. The nature center is packed with information about the wetlands ecosystem, the wildlife that calls it home, and the fascinating history of the site itself -- none of which I knew before visiting. Grab a map before you head out! On our walk, we spotted an alligator gliding through the pond, turtles, and an impressive variety of bird species. The sounds were incredibly peaceful, and the stretches of shaded tree hammocks offered the perfect reprieve from the sun. We came across Gumbo Limbo trees, sabal palms, and strangler figs among other beautiful native species. It was truly a magical experience, and I cannot wait to come back!

This place was exceeding beautiful even on a rainy day. There's also the inside nature center, but…read morewe did not have time to explore it. The boardwalk has two main paths. One is about a mile and the other a half mile. As it was raining, we didn't get to venture out into much of it. But you can see beautiful greenery with many of the plants and trees marked with name plaques, the gorgeous lake with diving birds, and the small covered huts part way round. We saw a number of walkers in jogging outfits exercising before, after and during their boardwalk walks. We saw the butterfly garden, and the weather station. There are supposedly alligators here too but I'm glad we missed them! What a wonderful bit of natural Florida right here.

Drove by this the other day on the way to another location and planned to come back. Brought my…read morehusband with me for a morning walk. The trail is nicely shaded and the path is wide and stable - might be a nice short running route. It links to some other local trails! The trail offers some side of the road parking, which seems to be underutilized. The park offers free bug spray at the entrance, which is spectacular because I can imagine it may get buggy in all that glorious shade. I love finding spaces like these, and look forward to coming back with the kids.

Cooperative efforts between the Forman family, City of Parkland Mayor and City Commissioners, Broward County Board of County Commissioners, and Riverglades Elementary PTA have enabled this once endangered native land to be planned, restored, and opened to the public under the 1989 Environmentally Sensitive Lands (ESL) Bond Program. In order to further a common goal and protect this uniquely diverse 20-acre site for public enjoyment and education, Broward County voters, on March 14, 1989, approved a $75 million bond issue referendum to acquire this and several other sites across the county. In turn, to provide public access, site amenities were designed, including a 5' wide, 900' long pedestrian trail traveling through pine woods and a 1,550' boardwalk meandering through cypress wetlands and past a breathtaking oak hammock. Two seating and observation areas along with a pavilion area are located along the trail. The public is encouraged to view this wondrous natural resource, to absorb its beauty, and to learn the importance of its preservation for future generations' quality of life. This is a nice, quiet place to go for a short walk. I saw hardly any people. It was kind of attached to a school with a fence which I guess is nice but didn't want people to think I was creeping about so I stayed away from it. Lol. There is no official parking so you kind of have to park on the street. I wasn't towed so I guess it was ok. I would return.

This area just knocked my socks off…read more I couldn't believe that I was so close to an industrial area just east of busy Dixie Highway, yet it felt like being in a whole other world. A quiet secluded place where you could hear your heart beat. It made me think that this is what many areas of old Florida used to look like. Kind of scruffy vegetation, almost desert like it was so dry and sandy in spots. You have to come here. Even if you don't do the short-ish walk, it's on paved pathways --and you are urged to stay on the paths and not wander off thereby endangering the endangered species of plants, etc. Occasionally, there are shelters for shade. There were no other people or cars when we stopped by. We got to explore a bit -- we didn't walk the entire path as it was in the 80's and quite hot (and we weren't dressed properly), but we did get to see cactus, and some pretty flowers, and moss, and various palms, etc. etc. And we read about the history of this type of landscape and how there are very few places like this still left in the state. I think if I worked or lived nearby, I'd come here often. Just to escape the buzz of civilization. But, it does feel a bit isolated so you might want to visit with a friend. I'm so glad we got to see this....

The trail is accessible from Hillsboro Boulevard and the Winners Circle Trail but there is no parking lot.

At the entrance to the trail there was a stand with insect repellent but both cans were empty. The park is located next to a body of water that breeds mosquitos so it is advisable to bring your own repellent when hiking.
