That is the first in a series of free Calusa Blueway-related programs at the Wa-Ke Hatchee Recreation Center on Bass Road in Fort Myers. Jay Rose from Paddlesports of Naples and Mike Devlin of Paradise Coast Kayak Tours and Lessons are the guest speakers.
The Lee County sponsored event takes place at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, February 4th. Rose and Devlin will share their paddling expertise, adventures and humor with the audience.
“You won’t find two people in Southwest Florida with more paddling experience and time on the water than these two,” said Calusa Blueway Coordinator Mike Hammond of Lee County Parks & Recreation. “They have enough knowledge and stories to do 10 talks but will squeeze it into one.”
The Calusa Blueway Paddling Trail is a 190-mile canoe, kayak and SUP trail that meanders throughout Lee County’s waterways. Trail information is at www.calusablueway.com or www.leeparks.org/blueway.
