Snook Islands
Natural Area - Guest
and map info
The Snook Island area is an up close and personal look at
Palm Beach County's Snook Island restoration project located
just to the North of the Lake Worth Intracoastal bridge.
The Snook Island area launches from Bryant Park in the City
of Lake Worth. The trip heads North under the Lake Worth Bridge
where your expedition of the Snook Islands begin.
The Snook Island oyster beds play a huge role in cleaning
up the Lake Worth lagoon by filtering water through their
system. As you paddle past the beds, the oysters perform a
water show only nature can provide. Kayaking allows you to
see the oysters filtering the lagoon water.
 Tidal
currents filter through the islands as native and migratory
animals and wildlife inhabit the sand bars and shallow waterways
around them. Schools of fish break the surface and an occasional
dolphin or manatee can be seen bordering the estuary.
The Snook Island Restoration area is a magnificent example
of the County's determination to restore the Lake Worth Lagoon
to a quality recreation area. The Snook Island area also offers
a wonderful fishing experience to those who wish to wet a
line.
