Lake Park Scrub Natural Area

About

A 56-acre natural preserve with scrub habitat and white sandy trails that locals once called "Silver Beach." Kids can explore three different ecosystems and spot native wildlife like gopher tortoises, osprey, and various hawk species along about a mile of hiking paths. Good for nature-loving families who don't mind a bit of adventure since there's no official parking and you'll need to park on the roadside. The sandy trails can get brutally hot in summer, so bring good shoes and plan morning or evening visits. Multiple entry points make it easy to access this hidden spot between Lake Park and the industrial area.

  Lake Park Scrub is a beautiful natural area that lets kids explore one of Florida's unique scrub habitats with its distinctive white sand environment—it's open sunrise to sunset every single day of the year, so you can visit whenever works for your family. The scrub is located on the north side of Silver Beach Road in Lake Park, just a quarter mile east of Congress Avenue, and it's a great spot for kids to get outside and experience nature in a protected natural area. For specific details about guided programs, activities designed for different ages, and any costs involved, you'll want to reach out directly to Palm Beach County's Environmental Resources Management department through their website, since the program options aren't listed online.
