Sunset Paddle @ Snook Islands in Lake Worth; just west of Intracoastal Bridge

Come and explore Lake Worth Lagoon's 'treasure' islands and get a nice start to your weekend! These islands are one of the many projects built to restore the Lake Worth Lagoon habitat in recent years. The Bryant Park Islands are almost complete. They will provide a more suitable environment for seagrass and oysters which in turn attracted many local species of birds, fish and mammals such as manatees. This is a great spot for a sunset paddle!

Important for parking and launch:

We're paddling the Snook Islands but I've opted for a better parking and launch location that is easier to deal with than the parking situation at the Snook Islands which are north of the Intracoastal Bridge. Instead, we'll park and launch at Bryant Park in Lake Worth just south of the Intracoastal Bridge. There's free parking at Bryant Park. We'll be launching out of the unofficial canoe/kayak launch near the fishing pier in Bryant Park and the horse shoe pits. Looking forward to paddling with you at the Snook Islands!!!

Paddleboard (and kayak) rentals are always available. It's $30 for meetup members. Just answer yes when you RSVP. Haven't paddled before? Please plan on arriving at 6pm for a lesson so you can paddle effectively with experienced paddlers. It's $40 for the lesson including the rental. Just me me know that you need a lesson when you RSVP.
