Map | Directions

Join us for an easy, leisurely nature walk at Green Cay Wetlands, one of Palm Beach County’s most impressive wetland restoration sites. We’ll walk the outer loop (~1.3 miles) along an elevated boardwalk at a relaxed pace, with frequent stops to observe wildlife.

Our primary focus will be bird identification, but we’ll also watch for other residents such as alligators, turtles, and marsh rabbits.

Green Cay was once agricultural farmland and has been restored into a functioning wetland system that naturally filters wastewater, supports diverse wildlife, and serves as an important educational and conservation resource for the community.

Along the boardwalk, we’ll pass through a variety of habitats, including emergent marsh, pond marsh, wet prairie, cabbage palm hammock, tropical hardwood hammock, cypress swamp, open water areas, and alligator holes.

Restrooms and drinking water are available on site.

After the walk, participants are welcome to explore the on-site nature center and gift shop at their leisure. 

Level: Easy

Cost: Free

Bring: Please bring sun protection, binoculars, and wear comfortable walking shoes.

Additional Directions: We will meet beside the wetlands map at the beginning of the boardwalk leading from the parking lot.
