    This loop can be an exceptionally nice paddle if you take the time to plan carefully. Mud Bay is passable ONLY at or near high tide. If there are strong winds out of the north, there might not be enough water to cross Mu...

    Nice paddle. Saw many roseate spoonbills by mud bay. Grocery landing is a nice historic stop.

    Lots of wild life viewed. Grocery Place can be buggy at times.

    We paddled through still waters under an overcast sky, a blank canvas reflecting the somber mood of the marsh. Mangroves steadily encroaching on the habitat. Amidst this, a sudden contrast – a splash of white against the...

    Beautiful day for a paddle. We made the 4 NWR trails just before duck season, and this is the last one. The water is still high, and the open marshes look a little different. Trails are harder to find, but it doesn't mat...

    We've done this one many times and very rarely follow precisely the same path because it's so easy to make a wrong turn. After all, the trail is unmarked - especially on the way south. We've left some surveyors' ribbons ...

    Beautiful day. One mosquito at the launch. Large flocks of white herons flew overhead for the first half hour. Got some great videos, and then my new Sony Handycam told me there was a problem with my micro SD card, so I ...

    We took it easy this morning. A nice slow paddle around the National Wildlife Refuge, looking to see if there was any wildlife there. We saw fish, and there's probably a 95% chance they were all mullet. It fascinates me ...

    NWR 3 is a well-marked, transparent, open trail that goes south from the launch, then turns west toward the Marsh Trail, and then north toward the tower on the Marsh Trail, so, of course, that's not a challenge. Partway ...
