Kayak the Mangrove Tunnels at Weedon Island

The tide should be high enough to explore the mangrove tunnels at this beautiful preserve. Let's go for paddle! This is a moderate level kayaking experience with some narrow areas; the full trail is about 6.5 miles.

It's important to note that 1 p.m. is the LAUNCH TIME. Please get there earlier to ensure you get in the water around the same time as the group. Latecomers must play catch-up, which is no fun.

Rent a kayak at: https://ecomersion.com/weedon-island-kayak-rentals/
Single kayaks are $40 for 2 hours or $50 for 4 hours. I highly recommend the 4-hour rental if you want to do the entire loop at a reasonable pace. Otherwise you likely will have to turn around (and give yourself enough time to do that). Renters will be responsible for managing their own time. Renters will launch from Ecomersion's spot, and can meet up with me (I'm bringing my own) just past the pier. I cannot stress this enough: RESERVE YOUR KAYAK EARLY! THEY DO GET SOLD OUT!

If you bring your own kayak, parking is limited at the launch by the pier. I recommend dropping your kayak off at the launch and then parking in the main lot, about a 5-10 minute walk.

Recommended to bring: A water bottle, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, water shoes, snacks, a waterproof phone case or drybag.

How to find me: I will be in a lime green kayak. I will be just past the pier as I wait for our party around 1 p.m., then will post a comment when I depart toward Marker 1.

Note: In the case of inclement weather, this meetup may be canceled.
