Riverbend Park's canoe and kayak boat ramp serves as the primary access point (Mile 0) for the 8. 5-mile Loxahatchee River Paddling Trail, Florida's first National Wild and Scenic River.

The park offers canoe and kayak rentals, two launch points for paddlers, and extensive amenities including 17 miles of hiking/biking trails, picnic areas with Seminole chickees, restrooms, and parking.

Short canoes or kayaks (9-14 feet) are recommended for the narrow upper river section with sharp turns and log dams requiring portaging.
