Paddle Island Park to Bayshore Rd. Park

Launching promptly at 8:30 AM, we'll paddle towards Selby Gardens and explore the area around there, including the Hudson Bayou. Turning around we head under The Ringling Causeway Bridge and continue north with a couple of detours near Van Wezel and Whitaker Bayou. We take a break at a kayak launch area on Bayshore Rd. before returning.

Plan to arrive 20-30 minutes before the event so you can be paddle ready at 8:30.

This is mostly open water paddling. The area around the bridge can be tricky at time depending on the currents under the bridge. The route is about 8 miles long at a slow relaxed pace. This event is suitable for paddlers with 6 months experience.

BRING: Kayak/SUP, water, snack, PFD/whistle (required by law), etc.

Lunch afterwards at O'leary's if you're interested.
