• This adventurous walk/saunter is about 4 miles. Flat but some areas have roots and palm fronds. Some parts feel like a walk in the jungle. Some parts are heavily uneven because of wild boar activity. Maybe some mud but no standing water. Port-a-potty there . Bring water,bug repellent, walking stick very useful here, sunscreen etc. Bring picnic lunch to leave in your car for afterwards. Sorry..dogs are not permitted to attend this walk . Bring your good humor too.

• Atlantic Ridge Preserve is at the terminus of Southeast Paulson Avenue in Stuart, Martin County. East of Halpatiokee Regional Park Kanner Hwy and I95. From Kanner(76) turn onto Cove road then right on Gaines and veer left onto Paulson rd . The walk is not at J Dickinson SP they only administer the operations.
