Delray Oaks Natural Area - Delray Beach, Florida

Elizabeth Hadden

Beautiful quick trails to enjoy some Florida nature and bird watching. There’s a paved out and back walk that ends at a wood viewing platform among the trees and marked dirt trial through lots of trees and foliage. There’s some uncovered seating throughout both. It’s a nice spot to visit and see some birds, plants, and lots of oaks. Very peaceful!

It’s all free and there’s a parking lot up front. Both trails are easy walks in terms of footing and level. The paved path is especially well-maintained and smooth.

It’s a nice tranquil park for a quick walk.

Delray oaks is a beautiful nature area in an otherwise suburban/office part of the city. It has one main trail that is completely paved, leading to wooden deck with benches at the back of the park. Their is one dirt offshoot trail where you can encounter some wildlife like snakes and turtles/tortoise (I am not sure which they are) as well as birds through out the park.

The walk is very easy and covered for almost the entire duration. If it is raining, the deck is wet but other parts of the trail stay relatively dry.

The main point of interest for me in the park is the large trees with sprawling limbs that intertwine with each other and create a very beautiful sight to look up at. These trees are a must see when you go to the park and they are easily seen above the trail throughout your walk.

Peaceful, paved walking trail through a small area of beautiful “Florida woods.” The live oak trees here are huge and absolutely stunning! There are signs throughout your walk that feature photos and information about the trees and plants. It is located directly off Congress Ave, so the “peacefulness” is up for debate. May not be for someone looking for a quiet, longer trail without hearing cars go by from a short distance.

... just a great place for a brief walk in a terrific environment... 20 minutes to the end and 20 minutes back; this place is just right!

Really nice natural area. There are both paved and unpaved trails.

Small, but nice nature trail. Trees and plants everywhere and I like that it's also accessible for people in a wheelchair. We didn't see any interesting animal like birds, gopher tortoise, etc., maybe because of the time we visited (a little late). There are people doing photoshoot in here! TLDR - it's a good place to visit!

This is a small natural area with an accessible trail and a flat unpaved hiking trail. There are interpretive signs but they can be hard to read as they have gotten wet, dirty, or been obscured.
