Taken: December 7, 2008
Caption: Hobe Mountain Tower information sign
Additional Description: Hobe Mountain Tower
This 10-minute walk up to the top of the Hobe Mountain observation tower will give you a view of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, and the entire expanse of the park. As you walk through the sand pine scrub (vanishing plant community) notice the changes in terrain and elevation. This “mountain” is the highest natural point south of Lake Okeechobee, rising 86 feet above sea level on ancient sand dunes.
Please stay on the path to prevent erosion.
