Trapper
Nelson's, Loxahatchee River, Jupiter,
FL
 Trapper
Nelson came to the banks of the Loxahatchee River in
the 1930's and made a living selling animal hides. We
bet that you will appreciate the tree-lined river and
the walking tour of Trapper Nelson's settlement, which
is preserved as a historical site. We will then dine
on our picnic lunches under a Seminole-style Chickee
hut. Paddle down the only river in FL to be designated
as a "National Wild and Scenic River." This river will
test your maneuvering skills as we make hairpin turns
that wind their way through a mystical Cypress swamp.
The Loxahatchee is home to many birds, turtles, alligators,
and other wildlife.
