River Notes: The first
river in Florida designated as a National Wild and Scenic River. Fishing
species include blue crabs, mullet, snook, and tarpon. Bald cypress, pond
apple, orchid, and fern line the bank. Heron and osprey fly overhead. Wildlife
to watch include otter, raccoon, alligator, bobcat and, as the river’s name
suggests, turtles basking in the sun. The upper river is a delight to
kayakers and canoeists as it zigzags through a stunningly beautiful cypress
swamp. Shortly after entering Jonathan Dickinson State Park, the Loxahatchee
changes abruptly as it takes on the sedate character of an estuarine mangrove
swamp.
