The Friends of Lake Griffin State Park are offering kayak eco-tours all through the month of May beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday, May 11.
Paddlers will be able to explore Lake Griffin’s Dead River Marsh by kayak or canoe with Certified Florida Paddle Guides. This is an opportunity to view this important wetlands ecosystem. The park has many wading and flying birds, land-based and aquatic plants, massive trees, and other native and exotic species as well as the many alligators, an often misunderstood resident of this area.
The $30 tour fee includes a sit-upon kayak, paddle, life jacket, and whistle. Visitors are welcome to bring their  own kayak (with some limitations.) The tour is 90 minutes to 2 hours. (Park admission fee of $5 per vehicle will be collected at the entrance.) Additional Tour dates are available at https://flgsp.org/page-1075361.
