Set off on a captivating kayak or paddleboard journey along the Middle River in Fort Lauderdale. Navigate through the peaceful canals of Island City and landscapes rich with wildlife, heading towards preserved mangrove ecosystems.
These essential tropical wetlands are home to red, black, and white mangroves—salt-tolerant “walking trees” with prop roots. They safeguard shorelines from erosion and storms, offer habitats for marine life, store carbon, and purify water.
As you travel, keep an eye out for iguanas on the banks, herons, egrets, and ibis flying overhead, leaping tarpon, playful dolphins, and gentle manatees enjoying the warmer waters during manatee season (Nov 15 - Mar 31).
Knowledgeable guides provide eco-insights, offer paddling tips, capture memorable photos, and adjust the pace for enjoyment. The route leads to a serene 9.3-acre nature preserve—a hidden treasure with mangroves and trails, perfect for stretching your legs and appreciating the scenery.
Wildlife sightings vary daily, offering breathtaking views and a connection to Florida’s coastal ecosystem.
