Join us for our first-ever Canoe/Kayak Activity on the Turner River. Come paddle along as we, along with our guides from the National Park Service, go first up-river north of the Tamiami Trail where the waterway is narrow and more intimate, then south again into larger, wider expanses of water and through tunnels of beautiful mangroves. Come explore!!
When: Monday, December 19th, 2022, at 10:00am PROMPTLY
Where: At the Turner River Kayak/Canoe launch ramp
41015 US Highway 41, Ochopee, Fl 34141
Directions: From Miami, head west towards Naples. From about MM69 start looking out for the bridge crossing the Turner River (~MM70). The turnoff is off to your right, on the northside of Tamiami Trail/US 41.
Start Time: 10:00am; please plan to arrive by 9:30am
Duration: Approximately 4hrs. Plan on bringing snacks, a picnic lunch, and drinks. Of course, we can’t come all this way, without a detour to Everglades City….(stone crabs to go, anyone?)
EVENT CAPPED AT 8 total boats.
The NPS has offered six 2-person canoes for our use (=12 people) with the possibility of us adding two (2) personal kayaks. We may thus have any combination of canoes/kayaks for an 8-boat total……. 6 canoes +2 Kayaks =14 people or 5+3=13 people or 4+4=12 people, etc, etc…
