    I caught sight of Sawfish Bay Park on the way back from a trip to the nearby lighthouse. It turns out the park has quite an extensive history that goes back 5,000 years when Native Americans inhabited it. In 1894 it was an important business district because it was close to Flagler's Railroad. The park now houses a 1915 depot for Henry Flagler's railroad that was moved to the park from it's former location where Johnston park now stands. There are only 8 of these depots left in existence. The first school in Jupiter was built here next to the home of the first mayor. The oak tree with a marker is over 200 years old. The park also contains the historic Aicher House that was built in 1913. Before being moved to the park the house was located across the street from the Old Town Hall Park on Florida Avenue. Plans are in place to give the house a new deck, paint, and sidewalks. The 2.5 acre park opened in 2006. It's located where the Jupiter Inlet meets the Loxahatchee River making it an ideal place to fish off of one it's fishing piers. Other park amenities include a boardwalk, walking trail, gazebo, canoe and kayak launch, a picnic area with pavilion, and a view of the Jupiter Lighthouse.

    Beautiful park in Jupiter! It is right before a bridge on the right hand side and you can see the Jupiter Lighthouse from here. My husband and I visited to consider dropping our stand up paddleboards in the water, but decided not to due to the strong wind and currents that day. You can easily pull up to the launch point and drop your canoe, kayak, and SUP in the water. Free parking and great views of the waterway here. There are also bathrooms and shelters and picnic tables to enjoy outside. We will definitely return next time we're in the area!

They only take 6 people out at a time and have both Morning trips that start at 7:30 and Afternoon Trips that start around 1PM. I've been fishing with them for 3 years and each trip has exceeded my expectations. Capt Mark, is a seasoned captain and makes sure everyone on board is safe and happy. Hooks are baited, fish taken off and pictures taken. He really knows how to find the fish. The boat is located at Castaway's Marina behind the Square Grouper Tiki Bar in Jupiter, Florida. You don't need to know how to fish to join this charter. They will teach you everything and you will have fun and see fish, mabe dolphins, sea birds, and maybe a shark or three.

His partner Jay helped to coordinate the trip via phone call and text exchange 5 days prior to trip. Jay provided all details about where to meet and what to expect. When we arrived the boat we were greeted by Marc. Capt Marc did a great training session with the reel and Rod we used and I caught a mutton snapper with 5 casts. He then took us to deep water. Where we immediately fished into banded rudder fish which gave the best fight I have seen out of a 10-15 lbs fish. I hooked into probably 8 rudder fish and was able to bring aboard 3. Also caught a small Bonita. Sharks took the ones we could not land. Capt Marc did all the baiting and restringing of hooks and boarded the fish. My son had the same amount of fish but also caught a good sized king mackerel. We were out for almost 4 hours and had a great time. Highly recommend the Mystic Rose.

Best of all if a captain named John is taking you out?? hop off and go home save your money!. His expectation of a trip is to chain smoke the entire trip, zero patience, zero personality, very rude if you are not a tournament pro fisherman and to rush back so he can have a drink at the tiki bar where they doc must be the withdrawal thing for him. Won't even mention some of the off-cuff comments he makes about minorities. the owner of the boat Tom will defend him with cape and sword because John is Coast Guard this boat captain experience that but at the end of the day he takes absolutely NO accountability or ownership of the trash piloting his small boat. would never recommend this charter to anyone!!!

The first time we thought it was a one-off. Second time, we realize it is just him having fun and avoiding having to fillet a few extra fish. On our second trip, 5 hours in the boat, 9 total fish caught, 4 were fed to the sharks. So the three of us split 5 fish's worth of fillets, half as many as we caught, just to entertain the captain. Maybe 1 fish, but 4 without permission - both trips - just keep an eye out.

    Twelve acre, six foot deep Pelican Lake was once a natural marsh. In the early 1950s, Juno Beach…read moredevelopers Bessemer Properties built a small dam into the marsh and turned it into a lake. It was named Pelican Pond by the local Garden Club before becoming Pelican Lake. The developers used the lake as an attraction to draw residents before the town it was incorporated in 1953. Although beautiful to look at the lake also serves an important function. It protects the surrounding buildings from flooding during heavy rain by providing a place for the rain to drain away. Around Pelican Lake is a pleasant one mile loop, perfect for a walk, jog, or bike ride. The lake has a fountain in it. Along the path you will find benches and trees. I even found a Rainbow Eucalyptus tree which you don't usually find out of botanical gardens. There is a gazebo where you can watch the turtles bob their heads out of the water. I think people must feed them because they came swimming right over when they saw me. I also saw fish and birds like the common moorhen, ibis, and ducks. There used to be more wildlife but the chemicals added to the lake through the years to prevent algae blooms eventually reduced the animal and plant populations. Plans are being made to rehabilitate the ecosystem by removing invasive species and adding native plants and fish. They also want to add a shallow nesting area to attract birds. One small part of the walkway around the lake takes you to the sidewalk along Ocean Dr. but it goes back down to the lake. When you finish your walk you can cross the street to Kagan Park where there is some outdoor exercise equipment along with a basketball court and a playground. This is a very nice to exercise and take in the fresh air.

    Apparently what I thought was a pond is actually a Lake. On a Saturday afternoon, I encountered a…read morelot of people walking here, some with dogs and others with kids/strollers. The South side of this Walk can serve as a path to get to Juno Beach Access JB-7 from the parking lot at Kagan Park; I definitely passed families carrying beach equipment. This Walk is interesting in part because the path is lined with engraved stones memorializing loved ones or saying something. Many are so worn that you can no longer read them. A couple that I did read were heartbreaking. On the West side of the Lake is a pavilion with a boardwalk going out to it over the Lake. The Lake has fountains. We could see many, many turtles and ducks from this pavilion. Parents beware: the built in benches have a ledge at the top of the seats which are the perfect height for a child to hoist themselves up onto and stand dangerously high up to the top of the barrier. The Western side of the Lake Trail gets larger and has a green area with trees, a bench and a little gazebo. I didn't go too much farther when I saw the road head up to the regular road.

It has a giant…read moreparking space for a bus, with a huge rack for kayak/canoe holding, and special dock appendage for kayak/canoes. It is a little difficult to spot, as the sign is tiny, and you basically pull into a parking lot shared by an office building. It is right off Indiantown Road. There is a little shaded picnic table, but it is right in front of the parking spaces. However, it does look out on a tiny preserved area. Just for the sake of exploring every single park, I brought my kids here to check it out. We were the only ones here. It had rained recently and a flock of ibis were eating in the flooded park area between the parking spaces and the dock, which is a pretty short little path. However, that path goes over a tiny swampy area which is shallow enough to note that there were not alligators. We could sit on the elevated pavement to look over the swamp and observe. Incredibly enough, I was able to spot a mass of frog eggs floating in this water. We then collected some of the eggs and brought them home; now we are parenting baby tree frogs to release one day. We tried to look for fish from the small dock but did not have any luck. From the dock you can see other docks along the canal.

One third of the preserve is mangrove wetlands which are very important to the health of the Loxahatchee River. Mangroves protect shorelines from storm and hurricane damage, prevent erosion, maintain water quality and clarity by filtering pollutants and trapping sediments, and they provide nesting and breeding habitat for fish and shellfish, migratory birds, and sea turtles. The land for the Jones Creek Preserve was purchased along with several other parcels in 2005 as part of the seventeen million dollar Jupiter Open Space Program. Non native plants were removed and replaced with native species and fences were added. Other park amenities include benches, a water fountain, and picnic table. A public kayak launch was added that allows paddlers to go through the mangroves and behind neighborhoods as they explore the Loxahatchee River. If you live locally and have your own kayak this is a handy place to launch it.
