Bears in Jupiter

Bears at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary

May 22, 2010    Sandra Friend

Jupiter has bears? Today’s the first time I’ve seen them along a trail: the Longleaf Pine Trail, an interpretive nature trail at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary, a lovely family escape just south of Indiantown Road near I-95.

Blowing Rocks Preserve

Blowing Rocks Jupiter FL

Jupiter      ( 26.978967, -80.084017 )      2.5 miles

Florida Trail, Corbett WMA

Ocean-to-Lake Greenway  |  Royal Palm Beach
( 26.855395,-80.302809 )      11.7 miles
