<p>Took a trip out to Little Rabbit Key. One of the hotter places I have been to during my past wet season camping trips.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"></p> Auger Hole to Rabbit Key Grassestag:gladesgodeep.ning.com,2011-04-22:2541133:Topic:188302011-04-22T14:33:26.545ZRoss Hancockhttp://gladesgodeep.ning.com/profile/RossHancock
<p>A trip to Pavilion Key or places south often involves a paddle around Rabbit Key, but if conditions are right, you can save a few miles by cutting through the Auger Hole and Rabbit Key Grasses.</p>
<p>The uncharted Auger Hole (indicated by the red arrow) is near 25-46.4N/81-21.3W on the south end of the shallows of the bay above Rabbit Key Pass. It is about due south from the exit of the pass from Chokoloskee Bay.…</p>

Its opening is to the left of two small mangrove islands in the shallow bay. The opening reportedly features an oyster bar that prevents entry at lower water periods. From the short, winding creek -- almost a tunnel -- you'll pass into a shallow, muddy pond. Bearing 130 deg for 1/4 mile across the pond, you can find your way from this pond into a bay leading to Rabbit Key Grasses and the Gulf.</p>

<p>The Auger Hole is reportedly passable only at higher tide levels. On a trip from the Greater Chokoloskee Area to the southerly Gulf islands and river mouths, you could use this shortcut if you are departing near high tide. Low-tide departures would probably entail a route through Sunday Bay, anyway, on the rising tide. I plan to use the Auger Hole shortcut for future trips, because it can save a few hours of paddling and help me avoid the open Gulf west and south of Rabbit Key. On the outbound leg, it's not too far out of the way to try even if the tide is not optimal. Coming back to port, I would want to be sure I had high water.</p>

The tide is high, on a full moon, and water depth was fine.</p>
