Hawks Bluff Trail

Length: 0.8 mile loop

Savannas Preserve State Park is in Jensen Beach. From US 1 turn east on Jensen Beach Boulevard. To reach the Hawks Bluff trailhead continue past the entrance to the Park, to the traffic light at NE Savannah Rd. Turn north and drive 1.2 miles to the gate and park on the side of the road. This is a high and dry ramble along the eastern rim of the savannas, a 10-mile long ribbon of open wetlands stretching from Fort Pierce to Jensen Beach.

Overview

Hawks Bluff (Sandra Friend) Less than a mile from the Atlantic Ocean in some places, these open wetlands are busy with the activity of thousands of birds. They filter both rainwater and runoff from the surrounding relict dunes and pine flatwoods, creating a unique biological community as they feed the estuaries of the St. Lucie Inlet. Encompassing more than 5,000 acres, the Savannas Preserve State Park protects this unique natural resource. Although there are several access points to the Park, Hawks Bluff provides the most pleasant hiking experience.
