You may experience the past even amid modern development if you know where to look. For instance, the Florida ecosystem seen by the first Spanish explorers is preserved in the state's only river with "wild and scenic" status, the Loxahatchee. You can explore it by renting a canoe or a small skiff in Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Between mangrove shores, you are in an amazingly remote part of South Florida shared only with nesting birds, turtles, and an occasional alligator. In addition to a river trip, the park has extensive hiking and nature trails, some with identification signs explaining the unfamiliar flora. If we have piqued your interest in this history destination, the park is near Hobe Sound, Florida, and the Ranger Station phone number is (561) 546-2771. If you can't get there, paddle on over to our Keyword Search and type "Loxahatchee River" for river views, or "Jonathan Dickinson State Park" AND "nature trail" for views along the Sand Pine Nature Trail. We'll bring you more destinations where you can take journeys through time. Let us know your interests! |
