The Loxahatchee is one of two Wild and Scenic Rivers in Florida, the other being the Wekiva River, near Orlando. This is an an official canoe trail along a stretch of the river offers some of the best paddling available in the whole state. The run begins from the canoe launch at Riverbend Park which is easily accessible with lots of parking. The run then travels over 8 miles downstream to a take-out at Jonathan Dickinson State Park boat ramp. The canoe trail travels through mostly undeveloped natural terrain that is home to lots of wildlife, including multiple species of endangered birds. There are two small dams that can either be run or portaged. Both Riverbend Park and Jonathan Dickinson State Park offer picnic areas and lots of hiking and biking trails.
