Jupiter Ridge Natural Area

About

Jupiter Ridge's three trails wind through 270 acres of scrub and wetlands along the Intracoastal Waterway, with options ranging from a short paved path to longer sandy loops. Your kids can spot manatees from Ski Beach, climb an observation platform over Old Lake Worth Creek, or paddle in by canoe and kayak. The mix of terrain and wildlife sightings keeps families exploring. Best for kids ready to walk a mile or more at their own pace. The paved Little Blue Heron Trail works for younger explorers, while sandier routes challenge older kids who don't mind getting muddy. Open sunrise to sunset every day. Bring plenty of water and sunscreen—shade is sparse.
