Turner River in Mid-March

[Daniel Madrigal]

Hello everyone. I am planning on doing the Wilderness Waterway in Mid- March and am going to paddle from Flamingo to Turner River and end the trip at the launch. However, I am wondering if this will be possible do to water levels, and if maybe I am going to have to change plans to finish in Everglades City. If anyone has done this in March with no problems please let me know, thanks!

The Turner can be paddled pretty late into the year, if you have some heavy rains for a few days. But March is pretty late...and usually pretty dry.

 

Halfway Creek holds up better into the dry season. I'd also prefer to leave my car at the new welcome center on Seagrape than at the Turner launch.

Has anyone been down Turner recently?  Thinking about doing a trip soon, but not sure what the water levels are.  Is there a USGS water level chart for the area?  I tried to find one on their web site but I still haven't figured out how to navigate that site well.
