I was talking to a Kayak guide and he said the mouth of Charlie Creek is blocked. He said that fishing guides told him it is blocked also which I took to mean Gopher Creek above Gopher Key. I'm not sure if I got that part right or not.

Hello all,

Looking for a good "summer read?"

Here's a timely one, too.

Among other things it touches on the NPS Centennial, the Big Cypress Swamp.  It chronicles the "day in a life" of a ranger that turns into anything but that.

Thanks for approving my membership! My wife and I winter just outside Everglades City and I have spent a good deal of time kayaking the waters of Cypress, the Everglades and the 10,000 Island area the past 6 winters.  This winter's highlight will be my grandson and I doing the Everglades Wilderness Waterway!  I hope to maybe benefit from y'all's experience before heading out.  So, any advice I'm more than open, and after it's over I'll certainly let you know how it went.  Again, thanks for…

Hi, everybody!  My name is Pavel, I Am an outdoor enthusiast... I was wondering about the Fakahatchee River when I found this awesome website.  Great job guys surveying the route!   Hope to join the group in the next adventure!

Does anybody know if there are any spots to camp in Fakahatchee Bay area. I am paddling down there from Cape Coral the first week of March (weather permitting}. I have never fished or explored this area, so I would like to spend a few days in there. I'm going to be down there for my annual 2 week trip fishing and camping.

    As Of Yet, I Have Not Received An Answer From Any Of Our Members Regarding A Question Which Has Occupied Me For Quite Some Time Now.  .  .  'Is An Alligator Able To Eat A Cotton Mouth Moccasin Without Suffering Any Fallout From It's Venomous Bite?'

I greatly appreciate becoming a member of this group. Thank you.

 Had tide and wind almost the whole time! Great 8 day trip! http://www.spotadventures.com/trip/view/?trip_id=295430
