Great park to do some kayaking or paddling! Really cool mangrove trails and plenty of open water and space to operate without the worry of motorized boats. Enjoyable for all levels of paddlers. You can bring your own they have a public launch or you can rent from the park (they are not open everyday though)

Paddling is the main attraction here for me. Admission into the park is $1.50 per person. The non-motorized boat launch is free. Boat rentals are available. It's amazing to have this nature preserve in the middle of the city (Dania Beach), where you can lose yourself in the canopy of many mangrove trails. There are four color coded trails (white, green, blue, and red). Depending are your fitness level it's easy to spend 1.5 to 4 hours on the water here. The Red trail is the furthest away, but offers the most fun. That's also where you'll find the Anne Kolb Nature Center and better hiking. The White trail gets a bit tight in places, but isn't as long. The Green and Blues trails are a bit more open. If you want crystal clear water, you'll need to head toward Rainbow River, near Ocala in Central Florida. Here the water is disappointingly brackish. The wildlife is a bit sparse, too, but you should come across some egrets, herons, iguanas, and flying fish. Right now, the children's playground is under construction, but the grounds are still used for birthday parties and picnics, etc.

Super cute, little park - $4 per car to enter. Kayak rental and launch are right inside the park. They had hoses to rinse off right there too. Sadly they don’t let you use any of the water spigots at the pavilions or the bathroom. We were hoping to fill up our tank in the campervan while enjoying the park. Nice walking paths, water views, beautiful gazebos/pavilions, lots of picnic tables, friendly entrance gate staff and clean bathrooms. Dog friendly, on leash. Been there a few times over two decades in florida and definitely well maintained. 👏
