Winding Waters Natural Area 6161 North Haverhill Road, West Palm Beach, FL 33407

"Dog friendly! Beautiful and clean trails. Awesome bike trails. The steep hill was great for the dogs to get a good workout. Over a year living in Riviera and just found this gem."

"Cool nature area with nice clear walkway. To get to the gazebo, it's less than a half mile walk. The sunset by the gazebo is great! Some benches along the trail. Lots of birds and wildlife (saw turtles too). Got some whiffs of trash at times (because facility is nearby) but overall wonderful spot."

"Holy WOW!!!! This was a birders paradise. Just gorgeous natural preserve area, free parking, and did I say BIRDS. I’m not sure what birds were migrating here, but there were Thousands of them! Little black ones. Wow. The sounds were incredible. There were also blue herons, white herons, geese, ducks, woodpeckers, and many others. Sunset over the water was stunning, and we were pleasantly surprised with a SpaceX falcon heavy launch. We saw a lot of bugs, but nothing bit us at sunset (January 23’) Tip: Jan 23- You have to take the main way there, not through the other park and around by the basketball courts over, as the road is closed. 10/10 one of my favorite areas in FL."

"I knew very little about this park when going there. Just another one of those parks I found searching Google Maps for parks. Driving the main road there is a parking lot for the trials. It has about a dozen spaces and one spot for a bus to park. A kiosk has a map and park information in it. It even has a pamphlet with a map on it. The trails have good signage but a map is always helpful. There is a canoe/kayak floating dock a few feet down the trail. A sign points to the shore fishing area. A paved trail goes half a mile into the park. The paved path ends at a bridge that goes over the water. The bridge has a covered shelter in the middle with benches to sit at and enjoy the great view. It was late in the day and the sun was low in the sky making it an extra beautiful spot to relax. Looking down from the middle of the bridge there was a large gator just hanging out giving me a great photo from above which you don’t get to see often. Once across the bridge the trail divides into three different trails. You can decide how far you want to talk and take one of these trails. This is where I had to turn around as it was late and the park closes at sunset. I went back across the bridge and took the trail instead of the paved path back. The trail follows the river. I was thinking about the large gator and hoped there wasn’t one on this trail. I will come back and explore the other side of the bridge. It’s a great park. The only issue I have is that there aren't any bathrooms. It’s still a 5 Star park."

"I was looking for a little nature escape, and this place ended up being perfect. They had a shorter paved trail and plenty of trail to walk through the grass for longer walks. If you're a bird lover this place is definitely for you. There was very little traffic when I went and was just what I needed."
