Whether you are looking for a quiet nature walk, a paddle on the river, or an exciting fishing excursion, Martin County has it all. From palms to pines, you will find an array of unique ecosystems waiting to be discovered.

Martin County is an outdoor paradise with its four-story height restriction, 100k acres of park and conservation land, five state parks, including Jonathan Dickinson State Park, the largest in Southeast Florida, a federally designated Wild and Scenic River, the Nathaniel P. Reed Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge, two aquatic preserves and the Indian River Lagoon, one of the most biodiverse estuaries in the Northern hemisphere.

The Explore Natural Martin program allows people to engage with these amazing natural resources sustainably by offering various eco tours and experiences year-round that focus on education, adventure, and stewardship. Explore this page to learn more about the program and view upcoming events here.
