Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge - Boynton Beach (FL)

5 /5 Paul Marban: Nice, quiet and off the beaten path reserve! I went in the middle of the day on a Monday and it was very quiet. There is a short walk in a Cypress Swamp by the visitor center (first two photos) and a mile long loop around a drainage area (second two photos) along with a connection to the main reserve area at the end of the main road (not pictured). You are very exposed to the elements so be sure to bring a hat and sun protection clothes!

5 /5 Bonni Coach B: We are so blessed in Palm Beach County to have this amazing National Wildlife Refuge. It costs $10 to enter, or you can get a yearly pass for $25 per carload, which is well worth it if you are going to visit often. The visitor center, when you enter, is worth a stop to get maps and for staff/volunteers to share what sitings have been reported back to them from visitors. I was able to enjoy the Sandhill Cranes walking their baby because of this information with the location and all and so precious. Behind the visitor center is Cypress Swamp Boardwalk that wraps back around . Its a nice start to your journey their. Its .4 - mile and several benches a long the way. Their is a self- guided pamphlet you can pick up at the boardwalk entrance, which detail what you will be seeing. Their are also bathrooms outside and in the visitors center. All very clean. In the visitor center you can also fill up your water bottle at the fountain to stay hydrated and they have a wonderful gift shop. The visitor center also has a great display and an opportunity to ride a virtual air boat and take an adventure with beautiful graphics being under the stars at night their theater. You can also book tram tours to take you around the refuge to get familiar with the area. Once in the refuge the walk is all open. Im not as fearful as I was in the beginning. It is nature and the animals like the bobcats or Alligators or raccoons or Marsh rabbits may just look at you for the moment and go their merry way.

5 /5 NirzVlogs: It is such a beautiful and peaceful place to relax. I had a great time just soaking in the natural beauty, and even got to see a gator in the wild, which was pretty cool! I also saw some people fishing, making it a nice spot for outdoor activities.
