Everglades Canoe Trip

Planning

Our initial plan was to make it a large loop around Whitewater Bay, including the Shark River and possibly a tidal boomerang down to the Gulf. This had the disadvantage of a one and a half day paddle on the fairly uninteresting Joe River and the associated bay. So we decided to stay to the east instead. The Shark River Chickee was not available on the day we needed it, so we grabbed Oyster Bay as a reasonable alternative. One advantage of this plan was the availability of multiple routes between campsites. This would give us a lot of discretion and keep things interesting. »»»
