From Hobe Mountain, an ancient dune topped with a tower, you are treated to a panoramic view of this park's 10,285 acres of varied terrain and the Intracoastal Waterway. The Loxahatchee River, which cuts through the park, is home to manatees in winter and alligators all year. Two-hour boat tours of the river depart daily at 9, 11, 1, and 3 and cost $14.50 per person. Among amenities are a dozen cabins for rent, tent sites, bicycle and hiking trails, a campground, and a snack bar.
