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.
