My kids kayak there a lot. The markers have been updated. Not sure about inflatable as they could get snagged. There is a nice put in area just past visitors center. There is also a kayak rental place there. Check tide charts & go. You will love it. There is open water too that is just gorgeous.
Can I take my dog here to hike on the trails? When is a good time to kayak through the mangrove tunnel?
A:
