Grassy Waters Preserve - West Palm Beach, FL
In this video, I revisit Grassy Waters Preserve, which I had visited for the first time the day before, and it was so beautiful I just had to go back!
Grassy Waters Preserve | West Palm Beach, FL
Grassy Waters Preserve is our favorite nature park in Palm Beach County. There’s no general admission fee and the 23-square-mile park has much to offer. That includes drinking water for locals. The preserve’s fresh water supply provides for West Palm Beach and its surrounding communities.
If you want to experience the beauty of the everglades without heading further south, this park is for you. There are six main public trails with different levels of nature interaction. The Cypress Boardwalk weaving through the core area of the park is family-friendly. We love leisurely cruising the boardwalk with tall cypress and pine trees above as we look below for evidence of animal activity among the short palms and other native foliage. A wonderful surprise along the way are pairs of rocking chairs perfectly situated under small chickee huts, providing a shady reprieve from the Florida sun and calming views of forest or water.
Take in open vistas of sawgrass prairie and domed shaped oak hammocks. Keep your eyes peeled for swimming alligators. Wading through the sawgrass marsh you might see sandhill cranes or egrets while snail kites stalk their prey from above. I always get excited when we make it to the point in the boardwalk where the rails drop down completely. It’s the perfect way for everyone, especially those in a stroller or wheelchair, to become immersed in the ecosystem.
Paid activities to enhance your experience include sunset canoeing, kayak tours, dipnetting in the marsh for critters, a variety of guided hikes (including through the swamp itself) and airboat rides. And no visit is complete without stopping in the Nature Center to learn about 5,000 years of Native American history in the everglades. The exhibition spotlights the people of Pahayokee, this incredible park’s namesake.

Grassy Waters Preserve Alligator Videos
I went to Grassy Waters Preserve in south Florida last week. (7/20/2013) I shot alligator photos and videos there...
The Florida Everglades is closer than one might think. This habitat accounts for nearly half of the landmass of the City of West Palm Beach, known as Grassy Waters Preserve (GWP). GWP also serves as your community conservation center. GWP offers unique educational and guided recreational opportunities on the edge of the vast, 20-square-mile wetlands resource. The preserve was historically the headwaters of the Everglades system. It is the City of West Palm Beach's Water Catchment Area.
Managed by the City of West Palm Beach Public Utilities Department, GWP provides fresh drinking water to over 130,000 people in West Palm Beach, the Town of Palm Beach, Town of South Palm Beach, and surrounding areas. The preserve includes nature center pavilions, meandering boardwalk trails, hiking, canoeing, programs, entertainment, and more!
Included in GWP's educational programs is Apoxee Park. Apoxee Park, located to the southeast of GWP, is a natural water reclamation area that will provide an average of eight million gallons of water per day. Apoxee, which means Beyond Tomorrow in the Miccosukee language, represents one of a series of planned parks within the region's urban wilderness parks system, set aside for preservation and public enjoyment.
The City designed GWP with a special vision: to encourage water conservation through enjoyable, nature-based education and creative activities for all ages!

(Wikipedia) Alligators are native only to the United States and China.[citation needed]
American alligators are found in the southeast United States: all of Florida and Louisiana, the southern parts of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, coastal South and North Carolina, Eastern Texas, the southeast corner of Oklahoma and the southern tip of Arkansas. According to the 2005 Scholastic Book of World Records, Louisiana is the state with the largest alligator population.[6] The majority of American alligators inhabit Florida and Louisiana, with over a million alligators in each state. Southern Florida is the only place where both alligators and crocodiles live side by side.[citation needed]
American alligators live in freshwater environments, such as ponds, marshes, wetlands, rivers, lakes, and swamps, as well as in brackish environments.[7] When they construct gator holes in the wetlands, they increase plant diversity and also provide habitat for other animals during drought periods.[8] They are therefore considered an important species for maintaining ecological diversity in wetlands.[9] Further west, in Louisiana, heavy grazing by nutria and muskrat are causing severe damage to coastal wetlands. Large alligators feed extensively on nutria, and provide a vital ecological service by reducing nutria numbers.[10]
The Chinese alligator currently is found only in the Yangtze River valley[citation needed] and is extremely endangered, with only a few dozen believed to be left in the wild. Indeed, far more Chinese alligators live in zoos around the world than can be found in the wild. Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge in southern Louisiana has several in captivity in an attempt to preserve the species. Miami MetroZoo in Florida also has a breeding pair of Chinese alligators. More info @
