Delaware Scrub Natural Area

About

Delaware Scrub's boardwalk and trails wind through cypress swamps and scrubby flatwoods to reach Jones Creek, where your kids can spot gophertortoises, mangroves, and air plants growing on tree trunks. The paved Forked Bluecurls Trail and observation platform make it easy to explore without needing serious hiking gear. This 16-acre spot works for families looking for a quick nature walk in the middle of town. The concrete paths and boardwalk are stroller and wheelchair friendly. Bring binoculars or a camera if your kids like wildlife spotting, and plan to spend an hour here rather than a whole afternoon.

  Delaware Scrub Natural Area is a beautiful outdoor space where kids can explore nature on their own terms, walking along a peaceful boardwalk that winds through cypress trees and leads down to Jones Creek, a tidal swamp that's part of the famous Loxahatchee River. It's located at 47 N Delaware Boulevard, just north of Indiantown Road, and is open from sunrise to sunset, so you can visit whenever works best for your family's schedule. The area is perfect for kids who love getting outside and observing wildlife and natural ecosystems up close, whether they're budding naturalists or just looking for a fun spot to explore with their family. If you want to get more involved, the county also offers volunteer opportunities and other programs through their Environmental Resources Management department, so there are ways to deepen your child's connection to the space beyond just visiting.
