STA-1 East is located approximately 10 miles west of State Road 7, making it the closest treatment wetland available for public recreation for residents of urban West Palm Beach and the western communities of Palm Beach County. The vast wetland site contains a public access point for hiking, biking, bird watching and nature photography.

The facility also features covered information kiosks, directional signs and paved parking areas, providing access to nature-seeking hikers and bicycle riders to explore and enjoy the vast, open marsh. This site is the first STA to have bank fishing allowed inside the levees. Fishing is a "catch and release" program. The recreation area will be open from dawn until dusk on Fridays through Mondays.

Head west on Southern blvd (US 441)
US 441 west to 20 mile bend (SR 880)
Turn left, approx 5 miles on the left side (south) of road.
Watch out for the trucks hauling cane.

If you are traveling west and make a left turn you are heading south - how can something be on the south side of a road that goes north and south?
Just wondering...

You may need to bring an adult with you.

Maybe just no gaps in the information provided. I only knew what I read - and what I read was incorrect - or at least incomplete. Thanks, boy scout, for taking the time to guide a little old lady.

Enjoy it while you can. The county keeps permitting mining operations near here. How environmentally friendly is that?

Maybe Wellington will channel their surface water there to clean it up. So much horse fecal coliform now enters the PBC water table faster than residents can drink it up.
