What We Saw

Launched in a small bay and paddled down stream for 2-3 miles. Upon exiting the bay, veer right and follow the narrow stream.

W3e saw several large alligators and some very large flocks of nesting birds. There were many places along the way to pull out for a break.

You have to be wary of Airboats but you can hear them coming from a long way.
