High water paddling through a Slash Pine forest in the Everglades.

Usually these forests are dry or just muddy

and will not float any boat.

.

It’s not often to have the chance to kayak through a slash pineland forest!
Record rainfall and late season storm activity has flooded the Everglades interior prairies, cypress and pine forests enabling some unique paddling opportunities!

.

With the record high water levels it’s now

possible to paddle among pines and paurotis! 🙂

.

Exploratory voyages on the

“Pa-Hay-Okee”

which is my

customized Ocean Kayak Trident 11 kayak, a versatile SOT craft for the back country paddler! I can paddle it as a kayak, standing SUP style or even pole it. She turns on a dime and the center hatch allows easy access to photo gear.

Previously on the high water paddling:

Post Hurricane Irma high water paddling in the Everglades!

.

Stay tuned for more high water

exploratory paddling in the ‘Glades!

High water forest paddling in the Everglades on the “Pa-Hay-Okee”.

Paddling through a dwarf cypress

forest in the flooded Everglades interior on the

“Pa-Hay-Okee”!

Usually these forests are a bit too shallow for boating and too deep and sticky for hiking, but with the super high water levels – I can float and paddle! 🙂
