Continued to the rear of the park and found ample parking spaces near the bathroom facilities that included a bicycle repair. We took a walk to the wide lake with posted warnings not to feed or harass the crocodiles which was odd - who is actually doing the harassing or feeding? Near the lake was a war veterans memorial enclave with an honor head stone for correspondent Ernie Pyle. The area included a wooden bench to sit, relax and take in the scenic park views. PARK #86

We were only upset about the fact that we were on time, but had to wait for 6 people who were late, who wasted at least 20+ minutes of our tour, getting paperwork and kayaks ready. We could not hear anything of any importance from our guide as people had different abilities to paddle (totally understandable) and there was no effort to include everyone. The mangroves are pretty and worth seeing. Our tour ended within the hour (should have been 90 min) but we were given the option of having the kayaks longer so we paddled out to West Lake, very pretty. Should have just rented the kayak and done our own tour

I was able to take my time, relax, and actually enjoy being out in nature without feeling rushed. I explored the lakeside, mud flats, and part of the South Trail, and the views from the tower were excellent. I also saw a few different bird species and some butterflies along the way. There's also an exhibit showing a model for a new aquarium that's supposed to open in 2028, which was interesting to see. As a longtime Hollywood resident, I can't believe this was my first visit but it definitely won't be my last.

The seats are so comfortable and the coolers and ice are built into the bar in front of you so you never have to get up. They have charging stations with usb ports and cords. You can charge your phone so you will never miss a photo opportunity. They supply music or you can plug in your own play list. The bathroom on board is definitely better than a port a john. It's clean, comfortable, and has a flushing toilet. The boat has a canopy to help block some of the sun on hot days. The captain and all the owners we encountered were extremely nice and accomedating. The lake was beautiful. We did the 3 hour cruise for a bachelorette party. What was nice about this boat is when you got tired or just didn't feel like peddling they have a motor to take over for you. When your done with the cruise they shuttle you back to your car. The whole experience was very well planned out and ran smoothly. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great time on the lake. You will not be disappointed.

The entrance to Lake Forest Park is within Anne Kolbe Nature Center. Stay to the right as you drive…read morein and you will see the path that enters the preserve next to the lake. Anne Kolbe does not allow fishing but Lake Forest Park does. Lake Forest Park has two overlook piers for fishing on the intracoastal waterway. The trail has a boardwalk that goes over channels that connect the intracoastal waterway with the Atlantic Ocean and West Lake. Lining the waterway is an important environmentally sensitive mangrove swamp. Mangroves protect shorelines from storm and hurricane damage, prevent erosion, maintain water quality and clarity by filtering pollutants and trapping sediments, and they provide nesting and breeding habitat for fish and shellfish and migratory birds. As the dying leaves fall off the mangroves into the water they form a nutrient rich soup that feeds animals. As the tide goes out the food and animals are drawn into the intracoastal to feed predators. The tide washes animals in search of food back into the estuary. Even if you are not fishing this is a very pleasant walk with beautiful views of the intracoastal. In the preserve you may see crabs, fish, birds, and even manatee in the winter. Sadly not everyone who comes here to fish takes their garbage back out with them. Take only pictures and leave only footprints.

Jefferson Park is a neighborhood recreational facility in Hollywood Lakes which is Hollywood,…read moreFlorida's oldest neighborhood. It is known for its charming 1920's homes and pedestrian friendly environment. The park is bounded on all four sides by homes making it the focal point of the neighborhood. It is one of the green spaces Hollywood founder Joseph Young set aside for parks and open spaces. Young named 27 streets after U.S. presidents, from George Washington to Calvin Coolidge. This park is named after President Thomas Jefferson as it sits on Jefferson Street. Jefferson Park has a number of recreational amenities making it highly desirable to neighborhood residents. There are four lighted tennis courts, paddleball courts, two basketball courts, 2 bocce courts, restrooms, playground equipment, and a baseball/softball field. On the night I visited the park was filled with people enjoying every area. The tennis and basketball courts and the playground in particular were filled with people playing games and delighting in the great weather outdoors. This is exactly the kind of bucolic scene founder Joseph Young had the foresight to plan for and which makes Hollywood so family friendly.

We're more than just a boat and pontoon rental service. We're your partners in creating unforgettable memories on the water. Our passion for the open seas and tranquil lakes has driven us to provide you with a unique experience like no other. Our Mission Founded in 2018, Pontoon Miami was founded by a group of water enthusiasts who wanted to share their love for boating and the serene beauty of the waterways with others. Our journey started with a single boat, and we've since grown into a trusted provider of pontoon and boat rentals, creating moments of joy, relaxation, and adventure for countless individuals, families, and friends. Pontoon Miami began with a simple yet profound idea: to bring people closer to the beauty of the water in the most comfortable and enjoyable way possible. As avid water enthusiasts ourselves, we recognized the need for a one-stop platform catering to all thing’s pontoon and boat-related. What started as a humble venture has now blossomed into a thriving community of water lovers. We take pride in being more than just a platform that rents or sells pontoons and boats – we are a gateway to a world of aquatic wonders.

This neighborhood was designed to be an upscale residential community adjacent to the beach and bordered by two manmade lakes, North and South Lakes. It is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Hollywood and contains a number of historic homes and public properties spanning decades from the early 1920's to the present. The neighborhood is prized for its beauty and convenience to the downtown business district. Eppleman Park is one of the smallest parks in the Hollywood Lakes neighborhood. It is located on the Intracoastal Waterway giving you a great view of the water and the boats. The park has a large picnic shelter with several picnic tables, a water fountain and water bottle refilling station, park benches, swings, and a shade covered playground with artificial turf. The landscaping in the park is beautiful and I even spotted an Altamira Oriole in a tree. This park is ideal for a cookout, exercise, taking the kids to play, or just relaxing as you watch the boats glide by.
