This piece of wetland was once a land for farming. Different kind of habitats can be seen throughout the park such as cypress marsh and tropical hardwood hammock. Walking along the wooden boardwalk, you will find descriptive signs explaining different kind of wildlife and plant life which is very educational for kids. For photographers, get your long lens ready and take a perfect shot of nature or the animals. Walk slowly and look around you as you don’t want to miss out the turtle hatchlings at the turtle pond or the young live alligators at the American alligator hole.
If you are a birds lover, revel in the view of various species of birds like purple gallinule, black-crowned night heron, great egret and more, wondering around in the sky on top of the park. It is also amazing watching flocks of birds migrating during winter. At the same time, admire various types of plants along your way like live oak, bald cypress, and red maple. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to bring pets, smoking, fishing, jogging, and biking, to preserve the area and keep it clean.

Native fishes and wildlife such as American alligator, the endangered snail kite and 257 species of birds are what you expected to see in Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge.

Other than that, if you are patient enough, you can also go fishing in the refuge area. While you are fishing, beware of alligators plundering the fish you catch. For visitors with little children or elderly, you are strongly suggested to use the walking trail. Besides, the interactive exhibition at the visitors center will catch the attention of your little ones.

If boating or jet-skiing is your thing, Harvey E. Oyer Jr. Park is the place to go. You only have to pay 10 USD for boat-launching or trailer parking fee on weekend and city-designated holidays. The people there are respectful as they don’t take up too much time launching their watercraft which causes a delay for other boaters or jet skiers.
The intracostal is wide and the view is great where you can reach Palm Beach on the north and Boynton Beach at the south. Don’t worry about space as they are plenty for large boats and fast jet-skis. While you are jet-skiing, your children can have some fun at the playground.
