But we did say there was a host of activities, and that there is! 

At the north end of the park, along the Oleta River, you'll find a large stand of beautiful mangrove forest preserves native South Florida plants and wildlife. 

The best way to explore more of this amazing natural area is to actually get out onto the river! Canoeists and kayakers can paddle the river to explore, or you can take a dip to cool down, swimming is popular from a 1,200-foot sandy beach.

All of the above is possible for all families, as you can rent canoes, kayaks and bikes too.
