Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Jonathan Dickinson State Park is named after the famed Quaker merchant of the same name, whose journal detailing his experiences with local indigenous populations following a shipwreck gained national attention in the 17th century. The park, which is located near the cities of Hobe Sound and Tequesta, is known for its excellent kayaking and canoeing opportunities along picturesque rivers that meander through majestic forests. Visitors can enjoy opportunities for swimming, fishing, hiking, and biking throughout the year or make use of the park's eight-mile equestrian trail system and facilities. Boating tours are offered aboard the park's lovely Loxahatchee Queen pontoon boat, letting passengers observe native and threatened Florida species. At the Elsa Kimbell Environmental Education and Research Center, visitors can learn about the region's ecosystems through nature exhibits or embark on ranger-led programming.
