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 3 is about 0.6 miles past the Marsh Trail Parking Lot on the south side of US 41 as you go east. There is a marker saying Trail 3 and you can see PVC pipes in a line to the south. The trail is well-marked with PVC pipes or U-shaped pickets with little blue squares with directional arrows. The trail ends at the Marsh Trail observation tower.

The trail is doable from about June to December which is the local "wet season".
