Join Sarasota County Parks Naturalists as they lead a casual kayak journey along the shallow waters of beautiful Lemon Bay. Learn about the coastal mangroves, seagrasses, and oyster beds in the area. Spy wading birds, explore meandering mangrove tunnels, and perhaps catch a glimpse of a manatee or dolphin in the bay waters!
The program is an "intermediate" paddle of approximately 3.5 hours in length, 2.5 miles round-trip on bay waters and mangrove tunnels, and includes an interpretative landing on the Lemon Bay Park Addition.
Pre-registration is required. Space is limited and other requirements apply.

Participants must bring their own kayak, paddle, and safety gear as required by the U.S. Coast Guard. Participants must be able to portage kayak to the kayak/canoe launch (a distance of approximately 320 feet) and down a stepped slope to the water's edge.
We recommend paddlers wear a hat, clothes and shoes that can get wet and muddy; and bring camera, binoculars, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, snacks and plenty of drinking water.
