Not too large and not too small Green Cay is a nice slice of nature tucked into suburbia. Boynton Beach has lots of busy roads and plazas, but upon driving into the parking lot for Green Cay you soon forget where you are! With an elevated boardwalk allowing for a short or medium length walk to see the wildlife you will find yourself swept away and forgetting the busy roads left behind. On this visit we saw turtles, birds, the elusive gator and more. Yes, it can get crowded so make sure to mask up, otherwise enjoy the nice escape. Note - there are clean indoor restrooms when you enter so use them if needed as there are none on the boardwalk once you start your walk.See more..
The Refuge protects a remnant of the once vast northern Everglades. At the Visitor Center you can take a virtual airboat ride, listen to night sounds of the Everglades and explore a gator hole - all without getting wet! Behind the Visitor Center you can explore the Cypress Swamp Boardwalk, a 0.4-mile trail that loops through towering cypress trees, pond apple trees, ferns and other flora of the swamp.Then relax in the nearby Butterfly Garden, or head across the road to the Marsh Trail. The 0.8-mile Marsh Trail is one of several walking trails along the grass levees that encircle impoundment areas, where different water levels provide habitat for various types of wading birds and other wildlife. Bring your camera and binoculars! You might see an endangered Wood Stork or Snail Kite, or any of 270 other species of birds. While walking the trails, look for tracks in the soft sand. Common tracks include those of bobcats, otters, alligators, raccoons, armadillos and birds.See the Everglades up close and personal in a canoe or kayak on the 5.5-mile Canoe Trail! Or enjoy the view from the levee as you ride along the 12-mile Bike Trail alongside the main canal. Canoes, kayaks and bicycles are available for rent. Try your luck fishing from the pier for largemouth bass, bluegill and bullhead catfish. Boating and sport fishing are also allowed in the main canal. State regulations for fishing licenses apply. Airboats are not allowed on the Refuge, but Loxahatchee Everglades Tours operates just south of the Refuge. Guided bird and nature walks and canoe trips take place on a regular basis. Ranger-led school tours are available by appointment.See more..

We’ve been going here since my now 12 and 13 year olds were born. There is a nice paved path that we have taken our scooters and strollers along. It is very short but you can see many native plants and animals along the path. We have seen tortoise, snakes (including a coral snake), spiders, many different birds, etc. You can choose to go off the paved path for an added adventure. This is fun but be prepared to walk in sand. Overall this is a small scrub in the middle of housing developments. It’s always been a fun walk with the kids no matter what age! See more..
