On the small side. About two dozen or so vendors selling goods and wares, several food trucks, and several informational booths with wildlife conservation information. It was all quite lovely.

It was mid Oct still warm would have expected the birds out feeding in the marsh area. There were some smaller birds about a dozen off in the distance. Did see a cool raccoon in a hallowed out tree. Few squirrels running around and some butterflies. The building area is nice, good hands on stuff for the kids and some tanks with snakes, turtles, etc. Overall, I wouldn't come back. It peaceful and nice to set and look for birds, but guess I'm used to S FL. If this was down home the place would have been full of birds and other wildlife. If you have kids and looking for something to do stop end otherwise if you're birding find a better spot.

My husband and I rented kayaks from this business this morning (Sunday). We found them via Google,…read moreand then researched them on heir Facebook page. I called yesterday afternoon to inquire on the rental procedure and spoke to one of the owners. I was told that they operate from sun up to sun down. Single person kayaks are $35 for the entire day, and two sweaters are $70 for the day. Cash only. They provide oars and life vests. We got there around 9:00 this morning and were greeted promptly by one second owner (husband/wife team) as he was assigning two other customers. We were soon on our way after paying and reviewing the area map. They take the kayaks down the road to a launch site. You park there, across the street. When you are down you call them to have the kayaks picked up. It's very close, so there isn't a long wait. We had never been kayaking before but, as they reassured us, it was easy to catch on. You start out in the bay and can head out to Deer Island or explore other waterways. We chose to head toward Deer Island. We didn't make it, lol. We probably had another half hour or so to go before we threw in the towel and turned around. For our first time we did pretty darn good. When we started out there weren't any boats out, but headed back people were getting out. We didn't have any issues traversing the paths of the boats, though fighting the wakes was something else for us newbies. There is plenty to see while you are out. We saw plenty of pelicans flying and diving for fish, we saw fishing jumping out of the water, and we saw several dolphins. We also saw something that resembled a dolphin...but looked a little different than a dolphin. It was at that point I turned around and headed back to my husband, lol. I'm not saying for certain it was what we're pretty sure it was...but.... The couple that owns this business are both incredibly nice and accommodating. They have been in operation for a little over a year, I believe. The kayaks were nice and in good shape, and they were very prompt with the drop off and pick up. I feel like price we paid was fair, especially considering that it is for the entire day. They suggest you bring a bag with drinks and snacks. Definitely bring sunscreen, and a hat wouldn't hurt. We brought ziplock baggies for our phones and car keys, but I would invest in one of those dry plastic bags that you can hang around your neck. I would also take towels next time. Totally didn't think about that. Bathroom. I only saw one port-a-potty along our way, so I'm really not sure how bathroom needs are met. Also, I asked about bringing our Pomeranian in the future and was told that they've had people have brought their dog before.

We saw a bull shark, three dolphins, and an alligator sunning himself by the waters edge a little further away. The pelicans seem kind of aggressive, so just be careful.

The restrooms are closed, but there are two port-a-potties in an enclosure in the middle of the marina parking area.

He explained to us were to go, how to use the kayaks and made sure we were comfortable in our kayaks. The area is full of osprey and we seen many. Also seen lots of wildlife including many different heron species. Also seen crabs and redfish. There are many houses to see along the way with some big boats parked along the waterway.

We did the trip from Brooklyn to Cypress Landing in about 9 hours of travel with moderate paddling. Pay attention to your safety brief because they give a good description of your halfway point. We stopped on the first night before reaching it and had some extra paddling to do the next day. They warned us of one newly-downed tree that spanned the river, but said they would be out to work on it before the season picked up. We hit Cypress Creek right at our pickup time and our ride was there waiting for us. They do all of the heavy lifting during put-in and take-out. All you have to do is load up and shove off. The river itself had many bends, and was about 2/3 shallow with a fast current and the rest deep with little to no current. There were many stumps and downed branches to maneuver around, but no part of the river was impassable. It's impossible to get lost; simply stay in the widest part of the river and follow the current. There were numerous sand and gravel beaches that would make for a good picnic or campsite. The Black Creek Hiking Trail runs along the right side of the river--at times you can clearly see it--and provides a ready source of firewood.
