The launch is at the south end of Sea Grape Drive (0.6 miles long) off US 41, about 2.5 miles east of SR29. No fee, plenty of parking, no restrooms, some picnic tables. The launch is flat, shallow, and easy into a one-mi...
This time we were meandering. We tried a new way to get into the marsh without paddling 0.4 miles down the canal, and the water was high enough to where we didn't have to port, but we were scraping the bottom. Good thing...
Head east on US 41 for 2.5 miles past SR 29 and turn right (south) on Sea Grape Drive and go 0.6 miles to the end to the launch point. From there it's a one-mile paddle down an arrow-straight canal to the southeast to th...

Embarked on a morning paddle with Mac, Karin, and Stan at Half Way Creek in brisk 50°F weather. The water, warmer than the morning air, gracefully released steam, resembling delicate threads of fire. Amidst the picturesq...
This trail is out Route 41 near Ochopee, just past SR 29 (Everglades City). It's a very easy launch into a one-mile-long straight canal that leads to the marked trail. The Markers HC1 thru HC7 lead south, and Markers L1 ...
Launched from the south end of Seagrape Drive into the Halfway Creek Canal, then down 0.4 miles to the entrance to the Halfway Creek Marsh Trail and then east toward the rising sun. The water level is getting lower, and ...
After last week's trip to Halfway Creek, we decided to push even farther into the area north of the loop trail. If you look at the aerial, you see several interconnected lakes. We probably could have gone farther in, but...
We were going to do NWR-4, but when we got there, the water level looked so low that we decided to go to Halfway Creek and paddle-nowhere in particular. If you look at the aerial, after the main canal ends at the first l...
It's been a while since we paddled Halfway Creek Loop, and we picked a good day with clouds, cool weather, and a good high tide that made the trip easier than usual. The trail is reasonably well marked in most areas, and...
This is the first time we have used this launch area. It's very paddler-friendly and an easy launch. A deep channel goes south or a shallow trail through the marsh. They both end at the same place. It was a little hazy t...

So we went out Wednesday, and on the way back, we passed over a large gator in shallow (2 to 3 ft) water and got pictures of him, and he never moved. So after a while, we got comfortable floating over the top of him beca...

Please read this if you plan on doing Halfway Creek to Plantation Island. Many websites describe two paddling trails here. One is called Halfway Creek, and the other is the Halfway Creek loop trail. The loop trail is ...

We launched from the south end of Sea Grape Drive and went 0.4 miles down the canal to the cut into the marsh, where the flow coming out was maybe the fastest we've seen. They must've had rain. The trip goes ESE reasonab...
The marsh is flooded, as you can see from the drone aerials, so you can pretty well paddle anywhere as long as you don't hit a mangrove wall. Most areas are relatively shallow, but we passed over a manatee that Duke only...
The marsh is flooded-easy paddling everywhere, so we decided to make the 8-mile round trip to the Turner River. It's a straight line until you get near the east end, where you have to curve south because the grass gets t...
We were going to do the East River today. We called over a month ago to make reservations. Yes - you need to make reservations to paddle on a river on public land. So, we get a "gate code" - there's a lock with numbered ...
We had planned to do Eagle Creek out of the Shell Island launch this morning... but... between the small craft warnings, temperatures in the low 50s, and a 20 MPH wind gusting to 30, we decided to do Clam Pass instead, b...
We launched from the south end of Sea Grape Drive, down the canal, and into the marsh about 0.4 miles from the launch. From there, it was east southeast about a mile and a quarter to a turn to the north-northeast, findin...
