Itinerary description
The National Wildlife Refuge sits on the south side of US-41 and runs from Collier Seminole State Park about 5 miles to Port of the Islands. In that 5 mile stretch there are 4 canoe trails headed south into the marshes. The trails are navigable only during wet season or after heavy rains. Two trails, 1 and 3 are accessible from the roadside. Trail 4 is protected by a guardrail, and Trail 2 is from a 20-car parking lot at the “Marsh Trail”.
Trail 1 is on the south side of US-41 just before the Marsh Trail parking lot as you're headed east. Be careful as you unload your boat as cars are passing by at 60 mph plus. There's a signpost for Trail 1 and you can see the line of marker posts to the south. The trail is marked, but some of the markers are not too visible. The GPS track leaves the marked trail and loops back to it. Nice scenery and lots of wildlife and unusual vegetation.
