“Loxahatchee is a fantastic nature preserve. The abundance of wildlife is impressive. This property is owned by the state of Florida, though it is leased long term by the Federal Government. This is where on any day, one can count on spotting wild Gators living in their element. Arthur R. Marshall is a part of the River of Grass or Everglades. The reserve is enjoyed by all. Some places are but short walks. You can drive on the pavement to various parts of the refuge. Trails are both wooden walkways whom even those who are handicapped to the fit, any level will enjoy. The enclosed walkways have signs along the way telling of what you see, and it's history. Then to dirt roads which encircle parts of the park. You can rent or bring a canoe or kayak and boat. The breathtaking beauty is found down every path. I suggest that you stop at the welcome center which is located just past the small entrance building. Upon paying your entrance fee to take an immediate right. Their volunteers will help you with everything from seasonal suggestions and a map. They have a wealth of information and can tell you what visitors are reporting throughout the oasis in the midst of the suburban sea,. If you choose, while just on the edge of the reserve, a dirt road runs along the C-14 canal which is almost a guarantee to seeing gators. I suggest if this is your first visit, bring a camera as you won't be disappointed. Leave everything as you have found it, taken nothing away. Be quiet and listen, look all around. I've seen people on their phones who report nothing, to others pointing the way to a magnificent spot where wildlife has congregated. This describes a recent experience, on the same day and trail. As people as they pass going in the other direction to what they have seen as they are often the best guides. That is unless it's someone jabbering away on the phone or looking down and playing a game, rule them out.”

“Nice but small wood constructed pathway over marsh land. Although a donation is requested upon entering the park , it is guarded and required. Have not tried the nature walks. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give it a 5 1/2”

“Bedner's Farm is a middle sized farm stand with quite a few grocery store items available. The wine section is especially well stocked. A large portion of the fruits and vegetables are grown on their own property and everything is always fresh and delicious.”

“Had an incredible & educational visit with 2 of my coworkers. Did not know what to fully expect other than having my hopes set "way too high" upon knowing they had sloth interactions... Not only did the family that runs/operates this sanctuary accommodate a flexible schedule to our last minute work delays, they were more than welcoming upon our arrival. Before I get into detail about the animal interactions I want to make it known that this family has the utmost respect, love, care & devotion for their animals...the paid for interactions with these animals are not abusive, harmful, or stressful to the animals' well being and they truly put their animals' needs FIRST before the customers'. We did both the sloth & the lemur interactions and were blown away. Beyond being in the same environment as these beautiful creatures, the presentation was more than educational. All of their animals have been rescued from various "bad" environments & rehabilitated to stronger, healthier lifestyles. Their entire staff was knowledgeable & passionate about each of their animals and we were in awe the majority of the 3hrs we spent there. Highly recommend for those that appreciate and respect the love for animals - can't thank this family enough for what they do and allowing us to share of piece of their home with us. - Exceeded my high hopes”
