Welcome to The Great Calusa Blueway Cayo Costa
cache
The Great Calusa
Blueway Paddling Trail is a 190-mile marked canoe and kayak trail
that meanders through Lee County, Florida’s, coastal waters and
inland tributaries
Southwest Florida’s Gulf Coast is dotted with sugar-sand beaches –
slivers of paradise on barrier islands. What’s harbored behind the
islands, though, is a maze of mysterious mangroves – leggy,
saltwater tolerant trees – and wildlife that rivals destinations
North Americans need passports to visit. The trail’s trek through
shallow water keeps paddlers safely away from places powerboats
travel, and it puts them closer to nature, where blush-colored
roseate spoonbills feed at dawn, schools of silver-hued fish dart
beneath their boats and lumbering manatees feed on sea
grasses.
This
thirteen mile round trip paddle will take you from the small boat
launch located in Pineland located on Pine Island. The launch area
is "unimproved' and best of all FREE!
The
Pineland launch is located @ N 26 39.565 W 082 09.176
You are
