Welcome to Kiplinger Tract, a 150 acre natural area bordering the South Fork of the St. Lucie River. This Martin County Park has a convenient parking lot on the north side of SR 76. A loop trail just over a mile long can be hiked through a number of eco habitats, including scrub, pine flatwoods, depression marsh, bay-gall and tidal swamp. Boardwalks meander along parts of the trail. At river’s edge enjoy the quiet stillness and you will probably be rewarded with sights of jumping fish, birds, and boats of all sizes and shapes (we saw fishing skiffs, a dredge and a woman’s skull team go by on the day we placed the cache). At low or outgoing tides, you can see a few oysters lying in the muddy bottom. Oysters are beneficial to the environment as they filter and clean the water. The trees here at the water’s edge are red mangrove trees. Both oysters and mangroves live in brackish, tidal waters like those found here. To the northeast is the new Indian Street bridge to Palm City.
You are looking for a small bottle, like a large pill container. Because of canopy, you may have to search a bit. BYOP and please watch out for Muggles.
