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 the 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 about 1.1 miles past the entrance to Corey Billie's Airboat tours, and if you get to the Marsh Trail parking lot, you've gone about 1,000 ft too far. The first part of the trail is well marked, but you had better pay attention after that first turn. So again, GPS, compass, aerial photos, and some trail marking systems is advisable.
