Why paddle on this canal and these
less loved parts of South Florida?
It’s a chance to experience firsthand the flow of the water in today’s re-plumbed Everglades ecosystem. It’s also kind of neat to paddle into the city from outside and witness the transitions and many changes that have been made within the last one hundred years.
It’s a chance to get a wider perspective of the big picture of the Everglades and of South Florida that many people only read about but may not really comprehend!

Nice dreams camping along the Miami River Canal at Mack’s Fish Camp with Orion overhead.
Paddling the Miami River Canal – Part I: Engineered Freshwater.
.
On the edge of the Everglades lies a Shangri-la of sorts called Mack’s Fish Camp. It’s like a small oasis just outside the sea of suburban sprawl and development that defines South Florida today. Mack’s has a real old time Florida feel to it and it’s origins go back to a squatter’s camp in the early days of life on the canal. Today it is the last of it’s kind in South Florida! It’s a quiet place, save for some distant noises from airplanes en route in and out Miami International Airport (MIA). If you want to paddle this part of the Miami River Canal, this is a clean and secure place to launch from. It is accessible via a dirt road just a couple of miles from Hwy 27 off Krome Avenue (997) in far western Miami-Dade county.
