We visited the Jupiter Lighthouse located at the inlet where the fresh water of the Loxahatchee and Indian Rivers mix with the salt water of the Atlantic. The lighthouse was designed by George Meade who later lead the Union in the battle of Gettysburg. The top offers a great view of the area including the draw bridges over the Inter-coastal Waterway, the beach and ocean, the many surrounding condos and buildings. One home that is easily seen is that of former Canonsburg resident Perry Como. Our tour guide told us the population of Jupiter has gone from 700 in 1950 to 50,000 now. At the base of the lighthouse is a large banyan tree. These trees put down roots from their branches and one tree can cover many acres if allowed to continue to grow.
