Troop 4832 will be canoeing The Loxahatchee Run!. The Loxahatchee River is an 8.5 mile waterway located near the cities of Jupiter and Hobe Sound. It was named “lowchow” (turtle) and “hatchee” (river) by the Seminole Indians. The river runs between River Bend Park and Jonathan Dickinson State Park. It is one of two
National Wild and Scenic Rivers in the state, receiving the distinction in May 1985. In addition, different
portions of the River and estuary are also designated as an aquatic preserve, Outstanding Florida Water
and a state park.
