Come explore the longest expanse of undeveloped land along the East Coast of Florida by canoe! There are over 300 species of birds and you may even get to see some natural bioluminescence! We will leave early Saturday morning from CORE. We will canoe to our very own white sandy island to camp for the night. We will enjoy a campfire, incredible stargazing and potentially a night paddle. Sunday, you will arrive back to Gainesville refreshed and ready for the week ahead. No canoeing experience necessary!
