A historic homestead along the Loxahatchee River where kids can explore the preserved camp of "Wildman" Vince Nelson, who lived off the land here in the 1930s. Rangers lead tours through the original cabins and grounds, bringing the Florida frontier stories to life with engaging storytelling. Works well for kids who enjoy history and outdoor adventure. You'll need to boat or kayak to reach the site, which adds to the authentic experience. Check tide levels before heading out since the water gets shallow at low tide.
