Join a USA Archery certified instructor to delve into the fundamentals of archery and cultivate a new skill. This 1.5-hour session starts with a comprehensive demonstration, leading into hands-on target practice. All necessary equipment will be provided, and participants are advised to wear closed-toe shoes. It is recommended to bring water and sun protection.
Located in the north end of Okeeheelee Park, Okeeheelee Nature Center features 2.5 miles of winding trails through 90 acres of flatwoods and wetlands, in addition to hands-on exhibits, animal encounters and a gift shop. The trails offer a deer overlook, marsh-viewing blinds, a butterfly garden and bird feeders.
Okeeheelee Nature Center’s exhibits focus on three Palm Beach County ecosystems: freshwater, coastal and upland pine flatwoods.
Okeeheelee Park offers winding trails, ponds and a dog park. Nonmotorized boats are welcome. Paddlers have access to some of the more remote areas. The park also has a BMX track and areas for horse riding. Bicycles and boats can be rented.
