About the event

Join us for an exciting kayak adventure!

Monday, Aug. 14th  ~  Launch: 9:00am

This month we have been seeing an abundance of Rosetta Spoonbills and Dolphins feeding!!!

Explore the unique transition through winding sawgrass tidal creeks, down a cypress swamp river then to the coastal waters and islands at the mouth of the Withlacoochee River! Where all that freshwater flows down river into the Gulf of Mexico!

Nowhere else can you see so many different types of plants, animals and marine life due to the diverse ecosystems where freshwater meets the saltwater, called an “ Estuary “.

Here is one of the most important areas along Florida where most all inshore and offshore fish reproduce and spawn! Shellfish such as oysters, clams and scallops form in the nutrient rich waters and healthy seagrass near the shore! Migratory birds depend on the barrier islands and rookeries seasonally! Here land and marine life have an abundance of food.

In such a scenic and thriving environment we never know what kind of encounters await!

It’s common for a pod of dolphins to get close, see alligators and turtles basking in the sun along the bank, lots of birds such as blue herons and egrets wading in the water, cormorants, bald eagles, osprey diving down to catch a fish and much more. Seasonally we will see manatees, roseate spoonbills, white pelicans, swallow tail kites and more. We see it all out here!

This is a monthly paddle event we host monthly. Good opportunity to join a group kayak adventure and meet fellow adventurers alike!
