Launching and showers at Everglades Ciry

[Randy Dudley]

Hello all. I am planning a five day kayak trip from Everglades City this weekend. My plan is to launch at ranger station. My question is does anyone know of better place to launch where I can leave car and kayak trailer and take shower upon returning last day. I plan to get in early on last day so I can visit Smallwood store. Thanks for any suggestions.

Collier Seminole State Park can do all that... it is just a few miles to the west.

And add on 15 miles of wilderness to the Wilderness Waterway, make your first stop Tiger or Picnic Key.

I always bring my own shower: http://www.coleman.com/beverage-jugs/5-gallon-water-carrier/5620B71...

As for parking. that's up to you. Another alternate for the north part of the 10K is launching at Goodland.

Thanks guys for the suggestions. we parked and launched from ranger station in Everglades City. I used gallon jug of water to rinse off and we headed on home. Great trip. Weather was good and bugs were tolerable.
