Gators, gators, gators! Canoe/kayak, bike, horseback, hike, see over 60 gators in Florida’s first state-designated wild and scenic river park (see more info/links; pros/cons below)
We stayed for 2 weeks at the full hoop up campground (PR). Unfortunately, many concessions/boardwalks were closed in March 2023 (low river & hurricane damage). But we still were able to enjoy the wildlife – gators, turtles, rosette Spoonbills - & sunsets; hiking/biking; birdwatching; star gazing;
