Jones Creek Kayak Launch

Jones Creek is a major tributary of the Loxahatchee River in Jupiter, Florida. The Town of Jupiter acquired land along the creek on the south side of Indiantown Road and created a park with kayak launch to provide the general public with access to the creek. WGI designed civil engineering plans to provide a parking area and pathways to accommodate the kayak launch area. In addition, WGI obtained permits with the Town of Jupiter, South Florida Water Management District, and Florida Department of Transportation to accommodate the paving and drainage improvements.

Project Highlights:

• WGI reduced the cost of permitting, shortened the project schedule, and avoided impacts to sensitive mangroves by carefully selecting the project location and using a nationwide permit and obtaining a state permit exemption.
