Hiking The Hidden Trails of Cypress Creek
Tomorrow from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM join a group of hikers to explore the Cypress Creek Natural Area. This hike will be a moderate pace and will go from thick woods to open prairies.
You will stop several times along the way to rest and view some of the local wildlife. Leader determines the pace, route, number of stops, and duration of stops. A walking stick would be helpful. Bring water and a snack. This natural area contains seven native Florida ecosystems: mesic flatwoods, wet flatwoods, hydric hammock, wet prairie, depression marsh, dome swamp, and blackwater stream.
Directions
10035 Indiantown Road, Jupiter, FL. The parking lot is located on the north (right) side of Indiantown Road, approximately one mile west of Florida's Turnpike by Jupiter Farms Road on State Road 706, just past Riverbend Park. There is a McDonald's and a Publix across the road from the parking lot. See posted photo. Use either place prior to the hike. No restrooms other than off-trail spots will be found.
