Telegraph Creek a kayak-and-canoe gem on Calusa Blueway
March 2, 2010
[imagefield:left:0]Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this year with this half-day paddle starting at 9 a.m. in Alva, a rural hamlet just east of Fort Myers.
A new program based at Caloosahatchee Regional Park lets you find your way with others to the green lushness of Telegraph Creek.
The creek offers a relaxing, meandering paddle and makes a great tour for all experience levels.
“Wildlife we may see includes baby alligators, barred owls, wild hogs, raccoons and water birds,” said Kelly Williamson, the programmer at Caloosahatchee Regional Park who is planning the Lee County Parks & Recreation trip.
The $35 fee includes the kayak and equipment. You bring water, binoculars, appropriate clothing and shoes you don't mind getting wet. Meet at the campground entrance of Caloosahatchee Regional Park, 19130 North River Road. St. Patrick's Day falls on a Wednesday this year, so it should be a calm, mid-week paddle.
For more information or questions, call Williamson at (239) 693-2690. To register, call (239) 533-7440 or visit www.leeparks.org.
“With a maximum of 10 participants, space will fill fast so register right now,” Williamson said.
For a glimpse of the creek, check out this photo of Williamson that was shot by E.J. Hornick.
If you go on this trip, be sure to plan some time to explore Caloosahatchee Regional Park. It features 768 acres of pine flatwoods, scrub oak, cypress swamps and oak hammocks. Crossing through them, you'll find more than 18 miles of hiking, mountain biking and equestrian trails. Primitive camping sites for families and groups are available, along with equestrian sites for people with horses. Get directions and a site map plus more details at www.leeparks.org.

Why? In most cases you can
Why? In most cases you can stay in a private villa which sits out in the middle of the water – connected to the mainland by a small walkway. If you want to go somewhere to relax – this is the place to do it. värdering av bostadsrätt

I am a great lover of nature
I am a great lover of nature and Florida has always been my one of my favourite destiny. I was looking on some information for a trip like this to Caloosahatchee Regional Park which features 768 acres of pine flatwoods, scrun oak, cypress swamps and oak hjammocks. It is a great opportunity and I am thinking to know more about this park and I was lacking informations on it. Now I am looking forward for this trip and I can find enough information to plan this trip. I would also like to know bringing canopy allowed? Because it is really a big park, I am a researcher on natural plants and it would be easier for me if I have something for myself to be prepare with please do let me know.

awesome program
A year ago, I participated to such type of adventurous campaign but it was not so much fun. It was not conducted so well. I was not satisfied at that time. I was willing to go once to be satisfied . And so I want to participate as I am really impressed by your program. It is really awesome program which I just loved and want to join it desperately. I would love to see water birds as I have never seen it . I am so excited about mountain biking which is so adventure to do so. I just love to do it. Thus, its really wonderful to take part in such type of adventurous program and I am looking forward to be part of it and have lots of fun.
