Ladies and Gentlemen , Welcome aboard . Fasten your GPSr strap , place your logging device in full solving postition and prepare for takeoff on the "Harley & Missy's Kayaking Adventures Series.

We have a lot of caches on a wonderful paddle trail in and out of the mangroves. If you try to get to the caches at high tide you shall not have any troubles, but at very low tide you may have to wade to some of the caches. Even walk in muck up to your butt. Make sure you have a lot of time before dark, you do not want to try to find your way in the dark. Take water to drink and some food for lunch and always have fun on this kayaking trail. Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park is comprised of 42,000 acres and protects 70 miles of shoreline along Charlotte Harbor in Charlotte and Lee Counties. Hikers and bird - watchers can access Charlotte Harbor's upland area at pedestrian walkthroughs available in each section of the park and explore the wildlife found along marked trails. Most of the park is shallow water fringed by mangroves , providing amazing opportunities to view wading birds , manatees , dolphins and other wildlife.

The park is best accessed by kayak or canoe , you CAN NOT WALK TO ANY OF MY CACHES that is in the Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park . After the wonderful time we had kayaking in the mangroves , we wanted to place some caches in the area so that you shall be able to see and feel the Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park. These caches was placed with permission of the Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park and park manager John Aspiolea. For information about placing caches in THIS state park , please contact fellow Geocacher , BufferBoss.
