Breathe It In. Experience an Unspoiled Habitat in the Northern Everglades.
The public recreation areas at The Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge offer you abundant opportunities to hike, bike, fish, canoe, and kayak over miles of waterways and trails within a vast protected space on the edge of urban life. The Refuge is home to endangered species such as the snail kite and wood stork, and the previously endangered American alligator.
