From 8:30am - 12:30 pm on Sunday May 2, discover nature's magic while paddling through a spectacular preserve and go back to the OLD Florida. This downstream, quiet-water trip (suitable for beginners as well as experienced paddlers) is an adventure through time.
The Hillsborough waterway is the most important resource in Tampa Bay, so its watershed has been protected. The 16,000-acre reserve is home to some of the best wildlife observation in the state with alligators, turtles, and numerous bird species ranging from the Great Blue Heron to the rare and endangered Roseate Spoonbill.
Guides will educate you on canoe paddling techniques and the wildlife you will encounter. In all seasons the Hillsborough River astounds with its beauty, serenity, and abundant wildlife. This trip is about 70% shade so even on a hot summer day, the 4 1/2 mile trip is cool. Soft drinks and fresh fruit are provided.
