Welcome to a series of Kayak Caches in Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park. Free parking and Kayak launch is available at Sunrise Park off of Edgewater Drive. Additional option would be Port Charlotte Beach Park but there is a parking fee.
Caches were placed at low tide and most should be accessible by kayak. Enjoy natural Florida.
American alligators have been documented using lures to hunt prey such as birds. This means they are among the first reptiles recorded to use tools. By balancing sticks and branches on their heads, American alligators are able to lure birds looking for suitable nesting material to kill and consume. This strategy, which is shared by the mugger crocodile, is particularly effective during the nesting season, in which birds are more likely to gather appropriate nesting materials.
This cache was placed with permission of the Florida Park Service.
