The floating dock at Weedon Island Preserve is great for boats, canoes and kayaks. The southern canoe trail is a four-mile loop best accessed next to the fishing pier where there is a formal canoe launch. The trail meanders through mangrove forest, seagrass flats, in between the islands of the Preserve, and along the edge of Tampa Bay.
Expect to see wading birds, such as egrets, spoonbills, and
white ibis. Occasionally manatee, sharks, and schools of mullet are spotted in
the backwaters of the seagrass flats and islands that comprise the Preserve.
Don't forget your fishing pole. Redfish, snook, and spotted sea trout fill the
waters of Weedon Island.
