  1. Ski Rixen

    Deerfield’s Quiet Waters Park is home to Ski Rixen, South Florida’s only cable water-ski system. Using an innovative cabling system suspended from towers surrounding a half-mile course, water-skiers (and wake-boarders) are pulled over a wake-free watercourse. Obstacles are available for advanced tricksters; otherwise, riders can perfect their water-skiing techniques without the hassle of a boat. Skiers under 18 must have a waiver form notarized and signed by their parents.

    Canoeing, Fishing, Walking & Picnicking

    The Hugh Taylor Birch State Recreation Area has recently undergone a major renovation of trails and landscaping and contains one of the last significant maritime hammocks left in Broward County. There are also mangroves, a freshwater lagoon system and several endangered plant and animal species (including the gopher tortoise and golden leather fern). You can fish, picnic, hike, canoe or bike. Canoe rentals, to be used on the half-mile trail, cost about US$6 per hour.
