An Early Aerial View
Before Riverbend, even before Horse Creek Park, there was a small fish camp. Palm River didn't exist.
But the rudimentary beginnings of Riverbend were already in place...the house that stands at the entrance to our park was already there, and so was our caretaker's cottage. And during the next decade or so, the end of the canal would be filled in to provide a foundation for the road that would lead to our eventual dock area.
