A Prince of a Park


We spent this past week at John Prince Park,PICT3101 a Palm Beach County park,  and think it’s a good value for RV’ers. It has full hook ups, paved sites, and WiFi – but no laundry.  It’s location near Palm Beach and its bicycle trail are the park’s outstanding features. 
The paved bike trail loops around  Lake Osborne which is home to several species of water birds. The loop is about 10 miles in length and takes about an hour.  And what a ride!  We PICT3096 rode in the mornings and birds were feeding along the lake providing us with great scenery.  We saw ibis, egrets, anhingas, pelicans, and two green birds that we think were parakeets.  The county airport is next to the park and small planes and helicopters took off frequently.  There was the occasional jet ski or fishing boat on the lake.
Our site, on the lake, had palm trees and bamboo growing near the edge of the water.  We watched an egret wading near the shore andPICT2987 a pelican diving for dinner.  We plan to return here next year for the third time.PICT2977
