Loxahatchee River — Florida's Only Wild & Scenic Kayak River, Jupiter to Trapper Nelson

There are 209 federally-designated Wild & Scenic Rivers in the United States. Two are in Florida. The Loxahatchee — nine paddleable miles from Jupiter through cypress forest to the old Trapper Nelson homestead — is the one nobody outside South Florida talks about. Alligators on every bank. Manatees in winter.
