Arthur R. Marshall Foundation Reviews

This is a shot into the dark. I was at the park on 11/4/16 with my now bf and a photographer took a very nice photo from behind of us watching the sunset on the dock, we didn't know he was taking it but he showed us the photo after. Since this was our first date I was too shy to ask for him to forward it to me. We are engaged and I would love if we could find the photographer. If you happen to see this, please like this post or message me through my google account

Nice place to visit for the locals with all sorts of wildlife, from alligators to deers and boars. Lots of birds to see as well.
Enjoyable kayaking in an overall pretty quiet place.
The visit will help you feel like you've arrived back in the middle of nature which is a good thing with the noise of the city you can hear everywhere else around.

I love this place! It's always a pleasure hiking on the marsh trails and boardwalks.

It was beautiful, I wanted to canoe but it was way too windy. Still that didn't get in the way of being an extraordinary activity, there is lots of beautiful wildlife and you'll have fun whatever way you decide to visit.

Very nice place for hiking, bicycling, bird watching, and kayking. The visitor center offers an interesting exhibition on the Everglades ecosystems and history. Be sure to bring a bug spray as there are lots of hungry mosquitoes along the Cypress swamp trail.

Really loved going to this place at least three times a month wish they would fix the dock the fishing pier

Bring your mountain or hybrid bikes and bike FOR MILES along the everglades and canal. The most peaceful place around...the path goes up north to the back of Wellington and down south to Alligator Alley...

beautiful sights and a really unique little museum for next to nothing!!

What a way to enjoy a day outside..
Bring water..

Quiet except for woodpeckers. Relaxing on the swamp trail. Met about 12 people only. We social distance. Lovely if very hot outing. On the trail it was a teeny bit cooler.

10 dollars a car. The cyprus tree area in the back of the visitor center is short and I didn't see any animals. The marsh trail is dead in the sun and I didn't see much either, its just flat with some grass and water nothing exciting. And seems to go on forever. On the road you drive on we stopped and saw a mommy alligator with 10 babies. That was great. So really no need to go and pay. For those who want to see more alligators, birds snakes and turtles go to wakodahatchee park. That is free and has a bigger walking path where you see more. I think Loxahatchee would be better for hunters and fishers and those who want to kayak

A really great boardwalk near the visitors center and they have snail kites too

Been fishing out here since the 1960s with my Dad. This place is an absolute gem to me.

Peaceful place to walk around and look at lots of birds

True get away from the world of people. Relaxing and educational if you want. Fantastic park, boating biking kayaking hiking, etc. Florida best.

We love to walk here - there is little shade on most of the paths - but you are up close and personal with nature - would highly recommend!

We walked a boardwalk for about a half a mile seeing swamplands but only saw one woodpecker. No real Wildlife to see. A little disappointing

Good place to be in contact with the nature. Honestly we didn't know about this place and it was so near to me. Please come prepare with bugs spray, water and be disconnected. Anyway, so far everything was Amazing!!!

Had a great trip with my two small kids. There's a nice visitor center and a quick boardwalk loop.

Beautiful preserve Unchanging in an area that is growing

A fantastic natural preserve with lots of interesting species to watch (birds, turtles, alligators, butterflies). 10$ for the access but mandatory.

Great park. Tons of trails. Great place to see an alligator.

Maybe I have gone at bad times but if you are just going for a casual walk, pick somewhere else. There is not a lot to see in the close areas. Would recommend for longer hikes.

We ve gone here a couple times with school trips. The staff is very knowledgeable but the choice of activities is somewhat limited. The boardwalk is educational if you have a Ranger with you. The canoe trail 65% fun.

A well managed and unique natural area to our community and South Florida.

This place is a great Florida preserve. It's a nice place to get away and explore a Florida marsh habitat. The park asks visitors to pay a $5 fee to enter, so make sure to have cash.

Most serene and tranquil environment. Amazing wildlife refugee. Great place to take children. Absolutely loved it.

Smells of a freshwater marsh, the sound of wind in the sawgrass, Cyprus knees surrounding a boardwalk. Close to civilization but feels so remote starting off across the everglades.

Such a treasure that we stumbled onto by accident. The versitile trails for a range of hikers of all ages. Also we are planning on returning for the canoe rentals!!!!!!

The visitor center gives one a a fine overview of the Refuge and the boardwalk loop runs through the excellent example of cypress swamp.

Great place to see alligators, go fishing, bird watching.

Saw a couple gators, plenty of birds, and there is a little something for everyone here. I especially love coming out at night to see the stars over the everglades.

Nature at its best. Lots of wildlife to enjoy, peaceful, beautiful sunsets.

The 5.5 mile canoe trail is great. It's in real everglades with many varieties of birds, alligators, and we've even seen an 8 PT buck! The 3+ hour paddle is worth it.

The visitor center is very educational. There is a virtual airboat, history of the 'Glades, etc. Worth checking out, with or without grandkids. Nice walking trails.

I loved this so much I bought an annual member pass!

The walking trail and the kayaking trail were both beautiful! Lisa at the boat rental place was helpful and wonderful. Saw all kinds of fauna and flora. Can't wait to come back!

Loved it! Good to see management and conservation! Save the nature!

Fabulous wildlife destination including canoe access to the Everglades and a Cypress swamp Boardwalk.

It was a very windy day and couldn't fish. The park was very nice and peaceful

It's a great place for a walk and to see birds. The boardwalk is .3 miles. Longer walks in the park are 3 miles.

Love this place! Great place for sunset photography. Calm and stunning.

This was a great place to visit to see nature at it's finest, the boardwalk was very enjoyable. Also walked part of the nature trail but did not see as many birds as I thought would be there. Drove out to the boat launch which is nice and saw canoes that they rent. There is a $5.00 charge per car to go into the park.

Loved it,felt like I was so far away from hustle and bustle of this busy,congested area.They also have canoe rentals.So peaceful and beautiful.If you love nature and wildlife ,it's a must.Also stop at Benderson's Farm Market on corner of Lee and 441.BEST produce in the area.

This is a nature preserve. It is great for bird watching and general nature activities. Check out the exhibits and gift shop in the visitor center. They have a boardwalk through a Cyprus wetland that is also very worthwhile. They also have a boat launch and canoeing. For newbees, the wildlife viewing is usually better around sunrise and sunset.

We have been looking forward to our kayaking experience at Loxahatchee. We went on Jan. 4th, 2015. We were very disappointed. Saw 4 birds, 5 lily pads flowers, & millions of lily pads filling the kayak trail. At the last mile we spotted an alligator sunning himself. The highlight of the trip. We did get a good workout padding thru those lily though. Hopefully next time we'll see more wild life.

Get lost on the kayak trail and you might end up here...

This is a beautiful and historic place. It has lots of great walking and biking trails as well as some of the best Kayaking through Cypress Swamps in South Florida. Lots of wildlife with Deer, Turkeys, Birds, Alligators etc... I very highly recommend you visit.

Nice wetlands Park, nice place for see diferents species of bird's and others animals.

Beautiful place to turn off your phone and listen to nature

A bit of the Everglades directly next to existing civilization aka 441and Benders. The volunteers are extremely warm and friendly which leads to this being a personable and tranquil experience. First time seeing gators up close and personal!

This is a great place to experience the Everglades, however for whatever reason park seems to be falling in disrepair. Even the board walk is closed.

A piece of the real Florida. Great place to take the kids for using their imagination and searching for birds and other signs of life in the wild.

Fun place to visit. Sometimes you can see interesting Wildlife. I seen a Bobcat here once. Nice flat Irrigation Canal hiking trails

I had an amazing time at this Wildlife Refuge! I saw many birds , alligators, mammals and insects. It is a must to see for Nature Lovers !! The trails were nice with lots of signs/information. It was great to see all the beautiful vegetation. The entrance fee was very cheap (but only cash) I would definitely go back there some day ;)

Omg the best!!! Bobcats, snail kites, barred and screech owls, deer, all types of wading birds, Red shoulder hawk families.... and so much more.. baby gators coming soon!!! A must go to!
