Name: Upper Loxahatchee River at Riverbend Park in Jupiter
Start: 2026-01-11T10:00:00-05:00
End: 2026-01-11T14:00:00-05:00
Location: Riverbend County Park

We will be paddling the UPRIVER portion of the Loxahatchee River at Riverbend Park, 9060 W Indiantown Rd, Jupiter.

This trip requires TWO small portages of about 200 feet to get into the upper river portion and back. Folks generally help each other at the portage. This is a leisurely three to four hour flatwater paddle with a picnic stop halfway through. Caution: Boats with fins will likely have trouble in the weeds.

We will shove off at 10 am from the public boat launch in the park. Enter the park and follow the signs to the canoe/boat launch on Picnic Island. We are NOT meeting at the boat rental site.

**Required: PFD (on and fastened), whistle, ten feet of rope. Also bring hydration and snacks as you wish and whatever personal items you need.**

Please, if you sign up, show up! If you don't plan to attend let the trip leader know.

Trip Leader is Ron Haines, 561 315-0528, [ronaldhaines@bellsouth.net](http://ronaldhaines@bellsouth.net/)
