Caladesi Mangrove Trails

Close to Home AND an Amazing Kayak trip through the Caladesi mangrove trails on Friday, May 8 at 8:30. Eric Graves will be leading this paddle.

Trip Duration: This trip takes about 3 hours. The estimated timing includes the paddle to/from the DBC peninsula to the starting point of the mangrove trail at the marina (45-60 minutes estimated each way).

Starting and ending location: DBC peninsula at the Dunedin marina

Please register so we have a good headcount and waivers completed.

Bring: beverage, snack, sun screen, bug spray (hopefully not needed), and anything else for a fun trip! Also, since we are in a state park, bring your pass or $2/person to pay at the ranger station when we get to the marina.

The trip:

Leaving from the DBC launch area at 8:30AM on May 8.
About 45 to 60 minutes along Caladesi Island to the marina.
The start of the mangrove trail is off to the side of the marina. The first leg inside the mangroves comes out in the sound.
We will then finish up in the mangroves and then paddle back to the DBC peninsula. When we are tired and heading back, we can reflect on 9 year old Myrtle going to elementary school in Dunedin by rowing each way in her small row boat!!

If you want a view of the route, the AllTrails app is free for the basic version and the route is included. Here is a map of the mangrove trails provided by Eric. Caladesi Mangrove Trail.pdf
