If you are looking to have an adventure that gets you outside to explore Florida’s natural side, the Treasure Coast is just the place. Spring time here is amazing. The weather is perfect for being outdoors and we are blessed with many areas where nesting eagles, osprey and pelicans can be watched up close. Beautiful historic gardens are open to meander through enjoying the intoxicating fragrances of millions of blooms. There are miles of wooded trails to walk, calm waterways to cruise as well as sandy beaches to explore.
I have just come off a family field trip on the Indian River Lagoon where we paddled out to a rookery, there are four of them that are an easy relaxing paddle away that every a first time paddler can get to or visit by pontoon boat. Watching the great blue heron, osprey, pelicans and others tend to their nest and chick; soon it will be time to learn how to fish.
This area has been an eco-destination since the late 1700’s. The founding members of Audubon visited and wrote about the birding here. Fishing trips for the wealthy have been written in guide books dating back to the 1820’s. Many organizations have tours, lectures and visitor centers. You can find contact info at www.floc.com local info on parks, eco-centers, fishing charters, airboats, and kayak, bike and hike tours.
We encourage you to find your inner explorer and get outside, take a walk, paddle a kayak or go in search of some of the many geocashes in our parks and public lands. Please check the calendar for great outdoor activities.
