400-year-old trees aren't something we get to see here in South Florida too often, so I jumped at the chance! Riverbend Park has quite a history alongside the trees - from Indian settlements and battles, to citrus groves, to trailer parks, this site has seen it all! The park sits along the magnificent Loxahatchee River, one of the best in the state for canoeing. A massive restoration effort has been in progress, and the park, previously open only for river access, is now offering guided tours of the land. The park houses a canoe rental concession; reservations are required for guided tours.
