Frenchman's Creek Natural Area is a 172-acre site with over 500 animal and 200 plant species including the great horned owl, red-bellied woodpecker, gopher tortoise, red-shouldered hawk, fish, wading bird, and manatee. It contains a portion of a creek and swamp that formed the headwaters of the Loxahatchee River.
There are 4 trails, a boardwalk through cypress swamp, and an observation platform. It is part of the Great Florida Bird and Wildlife Trail.
This is a walk, not a hike, of about 4 miles with loops and bailouts if needed. Wear comfortable shoes, bring water, sunscreen, hat, perhaps walking sticks and binoculars, and a camera.
