The trip to Hunters Lake was cancelled because the water level was too low to access the lake through the canal.

Meet at 8:00 a.m. at the parking lot of the Chassahowitzka River Campground near the boat launch. The Chassahowitzka River Campground is located south of Homosassa Springs and west of U. S. 19 at 8600 W. Miss Maggie Drive, in Citrus County.

We will kayak the Chassahowitzka River for approximately two hours and expect to see various herons, egrets as well as Limpkins and Ospreys. If lucky, we may also see manatees and river otters, which are always a highlight of this trip.

If you need to rent a kayak, please contact trip leader Tom, so that he can reserve the proper number.
