Bartrams In Florida - Battle Lagoon *
In this segment of the “Bartram’s in Florida” series, we will visit the site of the most dramatic event in William Bartram’s 1774 exploration. Fortunately, his “Battle Lagoon” no longer has the incredible numbers of gators he saw (and had to fend off). However, nature still prevails in this remote section of St. Johns River. Bartram’s nearby campsite looks amazingly similar to the way he described it. NAT0036.1F6 1 Sat., starts 11/14, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. Instructor: Lars Andersen ST. JOHN’S RIVER FEE $59 NOTE: Difficulty: Easy, out and back paddle on very light current.
Island Hopping The Cedar Keys *
Nature still rules in the Cedar Keys area of Florida’s Big Bend. It’s a low, wet country where land merges gradually with the sea, shrinking and expanding with the ebb and flow of tides. Shore birds, dolphins, horseshoe crabs and a menagerie of plant and animal species make this a fascinating area to explore by kayak. Three hours of paddling may be tiring to some. Basic instructions given for beginners. SPO0024.1D3 1 Wed., starts 11/11, 10 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. Instructor: Lars Andersen SHELL MOUND PARK FEE $59 NOTE: Difficulty: Moderate paddle on open water.

Silver River: Naturalist’s Edition *
This will be a slow-poking exploration, geared toward inquisitive paddlers more interested in learning wild lore than covering distance. Unlike our other paddle tour/ classes, this one will only cover a couple of miles in total, allowing time to drift, observe and learn about the river’s plants, animals, archaeology, history and other wild lore. If you want to see more of the river and learn a bit less of its wild lore, I recommend one of the other great courses offered here. NAT0007.1B6 1 Wed., starts 12/9, 10 - 12:30 p.m. Instructor: Lars Andersen SILVER SPRINGS STATE PARK FEE $59 NOTE: Difficulty: Easy, out-and back paddle.
Wildlife Of Chassahowitzka River *
Chassahowitzka is a true gem of wild Florida. On this easypaced kayak/canoe tour, learn about resident plant and animal species and learn some if the area’s rich prehistory and history. Like all of Floridas spring-fed rivers, the “Chaz” is in trouble. We will discuss the problems facing this natural wonder and what we can do to help save it. Basic lessons included for beginners. NAT0008.1B6 1 Mon., starts 12/7, 10 - 1:30 p.m. Instructor: Lars Andersen CHASSAHOWITZKA RIVER FEE $59 NOTE: Difficulty: Easy paddle on gentle current.
PLEASE NOTE: During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have made the following minor adjustments to our tour procedures: · All boats, paddles, vests and gear are wiped down or sprayed with disinfectant between each tour. · To allow natural distancing between kayaks and canoes, we are limiting group size to 14 people so we don’t cluster closely during on-water discussions or moments of nature interpretation. · We are not doing any tours that require shuttle in the confined space of a shuttle van. So, all tours are round trips that begin and end at the same launch site. · To minimize clustering at the ramp, we will forego our usual pre-paddle “map talk” until we are on the water. We will then gather loosely on the water, where I will give the overview of the river’s history, geology, archaeology, etc. (More of this information, as well as nature lore about plants, birds & other animals, is discussed throughout the tour.) · Experienced paddlers: Rather than launching all at once, we’ll have you launch individually, whenever you are geared-up and ready at the ramp. Expect to spend maybe 10 - 15 minutes piddle-paddling around in the general area of the launch site, until everyone has launched. (Could be a nice time to do some birding or just enjoying the beauty). Once everyone is on the water, we will re-group and head down the river. Anyone who would rather not spend these extra minutes on the water is welcome to stay on land and be among the last to launch. · Beginning paddlers: When you arrive at the launch site, please inform the instructor that you need basic lessons. We will have you stand off to the side until all beginners have arrived. I will then give basic lessons, while the experienced paddlers are launching at the ramp. We will then launch you individually and you will join the others already on the water. Thank you for your cooperation. Strange times call for creative planning.
