Nature Trails
Four scenic nature trails and a bicycle trail provide rare opportunities to glimpse endangered, threatened and unique animals, such as the bald eagle, Florida scrub-jay, Florida sandhill crane and gopher tortoise.

About 20 percent of the park is covered in coastal sand pine scrub, a biological community so rare it is designated "globally imperiled." Trails through the scrub are located off the entrance station parking lot and at Hobe Mountain.
