Paddle the Magical Wakulla River
Join CPI President Ryan Means for an awesome paddling adventure down the wondrous Wakulla River. On a weekday, in summer, we will have the river mostly to ourselves. As we paddle, we will discuss local natural history and biodiversity of this world class first magnitude spring ecosystem.
We likely will observe and paddle with manatees, handle terrific turtles, and experience endless plants and animals. Bring your swimsuit, mask and snorkel. We will observe fossils from off the riverbed, and learn about the prehistory of our region. Ryan is eager to share with you his extensive natural history knowledge of this ecosystem.
All inclusive adventure. Boats, PFD, paddle, extra water, complimentary drinks, all provided.
We will meet and park cars at the lower (US 98) bridge boat launch, hop into the CPI van, and transport ourselves and paddlecraft up to the upper (Shadeville Road) bridge over the Wakulla River, where we will launch our adventure.
All ticket proceeds go towards our efforts to preserve the incredible biodiversity of the southeastern Coastal Plain.
