Awesome place. They have great bike trails. Great for the beginner trail rider (except for the root canal). Highly recommend this for the bike trails.There is hiking trails that I have not gone down, but if they are anything like what Ive seen so far, its well maintained and great for family.

We do a lot of Vlogging especially our nature parks. We are nature 🌿 lovers so any parkthat embraces nature and family adventures and puts it on a display for us gets 5 stars. Its really tranquil. Our family loves to explore nature parks when we stay local in Florida as well as when we travel the US and other countries. So to give this 5 stars puts it up there with other countries and islands like Jamaica, Mexico, Puerto Rico, etcand States like Alabama, Virginia, Georgia, NC, SC, Wisconsin, Tennessee, etc. We love this all in one nature and family park. Definitely Topflight worthy.

A wonderful manicured park with beautiful trails and well built amenities. The disc golf course is challenging and scenic albeit not well thought out. It is a wonderful place to take kids of all ages.

I love this park. It offers so much recreation . Kayaking, Hiking and biking trails, Horseback riding trails, Baseball fields, soccer fields, Hockey rink, Tennis courts. Plenty of public restrooms and soda vending machines as well and public picnic areas with tables under shelter. I love walking here at least twice a week and there is also plenty of wildlife to see!

I’m in from out of town visiting my parents. Brought my bike in hopes to find something decent to ride. This place is pretty neat . Nothing to exciting for intermediate or export riders . But an excellent ride to get in a good workout. They have done a great job on the trails .Trail work done by Airborne mtb crew.The park in general is very clean and well maintained!Only bad experience I had was an older man coming up behind me yelling and basically cutting me off the trail to stop me and cuss me out. I came into a turn fast and skidded through the berm so He had to cry and moan about it. He let me know that’s why they have to fix the trails so much. (More like Probably because they are made out of sand buddy)I struggle with a lot of health conditions and spend most of my life in and out of hospitals and specialist offices. It really must be nice to not have any real problems in life so all you worry about how people are riding trials you dig that are on State Park property! Ok, Paul Blart trail patrol .I’ve been digging trails in different states for 20 years. I’ve never worried about how people rode them unless they were purposely destroying something.Other than that it was a blast. I made a video of some of the trails and put it up on YouTube.Just Search on YouTube :( E bike ride in south florida)I wanted to make a nice donation to the Airborne trail crew since I rode it a bunch and I might be coming back and fourth a bit from Pa to Fl. But the encounter with that man put a sour taste in my mouth. Maybe I still will if I find out he’s not a big part of it. Don’t be a Jag

Love this park. Go for the disc golf course with they just added 8 more holes to make it a full 18 which is awesome. And the bike paths and nature trails seem pretty awesome.

Great location and use of space; there are many activities that can be conducted there. To point out a few different fields, there is indoor & outside soccer, baseball, or softball. There is a large centrally located concession building that host restrooms. Also, several pavilions to use, including a screened-in one, but remember to permit them. Some additional features are lighted tennis courts, frisbee golf, hiking trails, and my favorite mountain biking. Which is maintained by the same club that does Airborne in Ft Pierce. Be careful where you park and what you leave in your vehicle, there are limited security cameras.

At 65 acres, Halpatiokee Regional Park is the largest park in Martin County. The park is well known for sports activities and it has soccer/football fields, tennis courts, softball/baseball fields, disc golf course, and an open air roller-hockey rink. The park also has picnic pavilions that can be reserved and a playground.The reason I love the park however is for the 500 acres of wetland preserve that surrounds the park. The park has 4 miles of river front on South Fork of the St. Lucie River so you can kayak. Ecosystems in the park include pine flatwoods, oak hammock, scrub and river land. These habitats provide protection for hundreds of species of native flora and fauna, including 13 species that are designated by the State of Florida as endangered or threatened. Going through the preserve is a mile long hiking trail built by Tropical Trekkers. The South Fork Nature Trail connects together two prior trails that the Tropical Trekkers built along the South Fork of the St. Lucie River. There is also a separate mountain bike trail built by the Airborne Mountain Bike Club. You can find the trailheads past all the ballfields, at the very back of the park where the park road ends.This week a cyclist was bitten by an alligator in the park after he fell off a bridge into the water. Unfortunately he landed next to what was likely a mother alligator protecting her nest. The cyclist is going to be okay and the nest and mother were relocated. The parks name, Halpatiokee is actually the Seminole Indian word meaning Alligator Water. Although alligator attacks are actually very rare in Florida it is best to stay out of the lakes and wetlands whenever possible. The bike paths in the park remain closed.

This park has it all! Aside from the sports venue and picnic pavilions we love to use the extensive trails along the river for hiking. There is access to hidden lakes where weve gone fishing and kayaking - peaceful, quiet, and serene. The mountain bike trails are FABULOUS. Almost 8 miles of trails with something for the beginner to expert. All of the trails are well marked and there is a handy map at the trailhead.

Great park with tons of amenities. They have very nice pickleball courts and a nice frisbee golf course. I am an avid runner and they have very nice trails. Everytime I have been to this park I seen families and others enjoying the park in a friendly manner. I have not seen anything that would make me feel unsafe.

Review №58

Dog walkers, this is a place worth traveling to. Trails through the woods, pathways toward the water. Tortoises seen almost every trip. Ive seen frisbee golf here, mountain bike only trails, sports fields, and a skate park. If you are looking for a large, mosquito screened pavilion, there is that too. It would be large enough for a wedding party, quince, or church group.

One of the best parks I know of. The trails last for miles and miles. The bike paths are well maintained with signs giving you direction and experience level...follow all signs...the playground is fun for the kids with shade canopys up. Also fenced in areas for baseball, soccer, or allowing our dogs to run off some steam...ive spent hours with my family here and traveled miles thru its pathsWould easily give it 50 stars if possible.

Massive regional park located on Lost River Rd. Halpatiokee is full of marked hiking trails and biking trails and is an excellent place to take dogs for a long walk. Groundskeepers at the park are always friendly and keep the place very well maintained. Also located here are a handful or soccer fields, baseball fields, tennis courts, and even a playground for kids!

This is a great park! Tennis courts, soccer fields, hockey rink, hiking and biking trails and playground. The playground is small but we love that is had shade now. I saw a lot of reviews that said things about a gift shop and renting a canoe or kayak which isnt true. There is a place but its up the road and not part of this Martin County park. But there are so many other things to do. We love to go on family hikes here. The trails are marked well and kids and adults have a great time.

Other than accidentally entering the employees only entrance... We had a great time at Halpatiokee. The birding on the trails was pretty good (pileated & red-bellied woodpeckers), but nothing beat the soccer and baseball fields where we observed sandhill cranes, northern bobwhites, grackles, starlings, mockingbirds, and about a million ibises. The hiking trails were very well-maintained if imperfectly indicating distance. Our goal was to meander, and we hiked a good 2 miles. Well go back and explore more of the park soon.

This is a beautiful park to walk and mountain bike. Theres lots of nature trails and lots of places to stop and have a picnic. We let the dogs roam off leash because we visited on a weekend but I would advise doing this with caution. Its nice being a male because I was able to pee freely on the trail, but my girlfriend wasnt so lucky. This was a nice place for me to try to spot an alligator in the river. Ill be back one day.
