Established in 1931 and developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the lush and incredibly diverse 9,000-acre Highlands Hammock State Park is a refuge for endangered animals and ancient flora. With its beautiful old-growth hammock and variety of habitats and wildlife species, this is the Real Florida.

Sixteen distinct natural communities create the mosaic that is Jonathan Dickinson, the largest state park in Southeast Florida. Rare environments as well as the pristine Loxahatchee River make this park a unique spot to explore on land or by water.

Two ancient ravines carved by a spring-fed creek have been transformed into a rustic tropical garden. The park has two ravines up to 120 feet deep with steep banks at 45-degree angles.
