    I caught sight of Sawfish Bay Park on the way back from a trip to the nearby lighthouse. It turns out the park has quite an extensive history that goes back 5,000 years when Native Americans inhabited it. In 1894 it was an important business district because it was close to Flagler's Railroad. The park now houses a 1915 depot for Henry Flagler's railroad that was moved to the park from it's former location where Johnston park now stands. There are only 8 of these depots left in existence. The first school in Jupiter was built here next to the home of the first mayor. The oak tree with a marker is over 200 years old. The park also contains the historic Aicher House that was built in 1913. Before being moved to the park the house was located across the street from the Old Town Hall Park on Florida Avenue. Plans are in place to give the house a new deck, paint, and sidewalks. The 2.5 acre park opened in 2006. It's located where the Jupiter Inlet meets the Loxahatchee River making it an ideal place to fish off of one it's fishing piers. Other park amenities include a boardwalk, walking trail, gazebo, canoe and kayak launch, a picnic area with pavilion, and a view of the Jupiter Lighthouse.

    Beautiful park in Jupiter! It is right before a bridge on the right hand side and you can see the Jupiter Lighthouse from here. My husband and I visited to consider dropping our stand up paddleboards in the water, but decided not to due to the strong wind and currents that day. You can easily pull up to the launch point and drop your canoe, kayak, and SUP in the water. Free parking and great views of the waterway here. There are also bathrooms and shelters and picnic tables to enjoy outside. We will definitely return next time we're in the area!

    We absolutely loved DuBois Park and Beach. It's now one of our favorite family spots in Florida…read more With calm, shallow waters and a sandy lagoon perfect for kids, plus picnic areas and shady spots for relaxing, the experience completely blew us away. I've honestly never found another place quite like it for families. The water is calm, shallow, and sheltered, with no waves or strong current, making it ideal for time with our three-year-old. She loved playing at the water's edge, and the tranquil conditions made it much easier to relax without worrying about waves or tides. The setting is also beautiful, with sandy areas along both sides of the water, natural trees that provide real shade, and plenty of spots if you prefer to sit out in the sun. The park felt incredibly clean and well-cared-for, with picnic benches and grills throughout, public restrooms nearby, and a lifeguard tower, though no lifeguard was on duty when we visited. There is also a pirate-ship playground, which is a fun bonus for families if kids want a break from the water. One tip: the rubber surface gets very hot in the sun, so flip-flops or other shoes are a good idea. One of the highlights is watching boats come and go from the harbor from nearly every vantage point, giving the area an authentic Florida vibe. Crossing the bridge over the lagoon's mouth also leads directly to the beach. What truly impressed us was how welcoming and inclusive the park felt. We heard multiple languages, saw diverse families and groups enjoying themselves, and everyone seemed relaxed, content, and authentic. The genuine, easygoing atmosphere made the park even more memorable. It felt like a blend of locals and visitors, both welcoming and family-oriented, with immaculate grounds. Although parking fills up, it never feels hectic. We've visited many beaches in Florida and beyond, but this one genuinely stands out. We plan to return as often as possible.

    I LOVE Dubois Park and grew up coming here. It's more of a hidden gem in Jupiter, which I love…read more It's more of a local beach and doesn't draw tourists so it's more quiet and a nicer experience. Very relaxing! I can sit here all day. Since I visited last time they have installed a children's play area with a pirates ship it's adorable. This is great for families with children. There are lots of picnic benches and areas to sit down. You can go in the water unless it says otherwise. There's a bridge which will take you from one side of the park to the other. This is a perfect place to come to take pictures. I recommend over the other beaches. Come visit!

    I finally ventured further down the path in this park and was greatly pleased! On my first trip…read morehere, I stopped after reaching the first 'river' pavilion, because the path forward looked more like a side street than a park path, as it is wide enough for a car. But this time I kept going and found another river lookout, this one with a boardwalk that actually went out over the River. After that, the path went into another part of woods. It meandered along until we reached a tiny boardwalk bridge over a slightly marshy area and then found we had reached the very end of the park, where it intersected with a main road near the highway. Once again, we had the park all to ourselves, which was a treat. These days, with so little rain, so many plants looked brown and lifeless. We saw a gopher tortoise and a black snake.

    This is a very nice hike through the northeast portion of the Everglades. You start off from the…read moreparking lot on the Bracken Fern Nature Trail which is paved and wheelchair accessible. It is flanked on either side by slash pine which provides shade. There are also sections of scrubby flatwoods and bracken fern. The length of this trail is 1/4 mile. When the pavement ends the trail turns to the left and becomes the Gallberry Hiking Trail which parallels a canal. Mangroves grow along the waters edge and there is a lookout pavilion and a fishing pier. If you come during the winter you might be able to catch sight of manatees in the C-18 canal. This part of the trail backs a neighborhood and you can enter from the street to join the trail here. The final portion of the trail veers of through a denser forest before transitioning into scrubby flatwoods. You cross over a bridge that goes over a small stream that once fed into the Loxahatchee River. The trail ends at the Island Way Road. If you walk the trail and back to the parking lot you will have traveled 1.2 miles. I didn't see any wildlife on this trip but I still enjoyed my hike. It was mostly shaded which I appreciated and the three distinct parts of the trail made the hike interesting. I plan to come back during the colder months to see if I can spot a manatee.
