With Bill DiPaolo steering my boat we started our adventure, and around the first river bend, Clegg spotted something. He said not to panic, and as long as you stay in your boat, you should be safe. That's one of the attractions of the wild and scenic Loxahatchee River."Ĭlegg's trip planning seems very thorough, including times to turn back, and other important information. "We tell people to expect to see an alligator on the river. "Good question, because that is a part of our trip planning," said Clegg. "What do you do if you see an alligator?" I ask Clegg. "I didn't think it would be any fun, I was terrified, but I didn't see any alligators," said student Mallory Inge.
"It's fun to come see the wildlife and be out in the nature," said mother Kristy Inge. "We went canoeing," said student Genisis Zuniga. He also offer tours, and when I took mine, the students from Franklin Academy were on a field trip at the facility. "Only six miles to the ocean, and yet we are in another world."Ĭlegg's new business in Riverbend Park in Jupiter is already a haven for kayakers, canoers, and paddle boarders. "It's just the way it was 2,000 years ago," said Clegg. He gave me some important safety information about alligators for anyone using Florida's waterways.Ĭlegg has played on the Loxahatchee River since 1975 and calls it Jurassic Park. I went on a preview and learned a valuable lesson from the Rick Clegg, the owner of Jupiter Outdoor Center. A new Loxahatchee River kayak, paddle board, canoe, and tour shop is having its grand opening in Jupiter on Saturday.
