Oxbow Eco-Center

Need an escape from the traffic and the people - the Center is small nature preserve (200+ acres) with a learning center. The Center is ok - some good info and lots of "stuffed" animals to view with some live critters (snakes, turtles, etc). The Trails are amazing -- and loop around -- they include various landscapes, 3 towers for viewing and seating areas on the path. make sure you explore the canal trail for more bird viewing. 3.5 miles of trails -- a good stroll in fresh air!

Beautiful grounds with multiple short and long trails. Great lookout towers which are wheelchair accessible. There are several bridges which provide a nice overview of wet areas. The trails are all mulch, sand or grass great for walking or jogging. The trails are full of life. We saw multiple snakes, turtles, tracks, birds and flowers. There is a butterfly garden which needs some sprucing up and weeding. The education center is noteworthy. Lots of parking. Love this park.

I've been hiking at Oxbow for almost 15 years. Seems the only place you can go on the Treasure Coast to get some peace and quiet. Great trails for easy biking, good canopy for shade along the trail. A great place to organize your thoughts.
