Trip Overview

We put in at the Brownville County Park. The river is higher than it was back in March and there is a nice gentle current.

It is too hot for the birds and animals to be out. We saw a small alligator, turtle and white egrets.

It is a 9 mile trip and with the current we did it in about 2.5 hrs.

No

Directions:

The park is about 4 miles west of rt 17 between Arcadia and Zolfo Springs. The turn off road is Brownville Rd.
