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”.

National Wildlife Refuge trail #4. Park on the side of US41 behind the guardrail or past there if it’s crowded. There's a marker that says NWR Canoe Trail 4. The launch is gravel and well protected into a narrow channel through cattail marsh. There are no markers until you get past the cattail marsh, about half a mile.

For this trail we went off the beaten path - Robert Frost's "road less traveled ". If you decide to go thios way, pay attention. Use your GPS or mark your way in so you can find your way out.
