“A Paddlers Guide to Everglades National Park” is the third talk in a series of free Calusa Blueway Paddling Trail related programs set for 6:30PM on Tuesday, February 3rd, at the Wa-Ke Hatchee Recreation Center on Bass Road in Fort Myers.
Presenter Chad Gillis is longtime outdoor journalist who has spent decades paddling, fishing and camping in the waters of Southwest Florida. Chad will share his adventures, stories, and tips, discuss his new book and reflect on what he wishes he had known 25 years ago when he first began exploring the Everglades.
“I probably see Chad around the Calusa Blueway more than any other paddler” said Calusa Blueway Coordinator Mike Hammond of Lee County Parks & Recreation. “It seems like he’s always on the water somewhere between here and the Everglades. A lot of paddlers follow Chad on social media and are excited about this talk and his new book.”
Paperback copies of “A Paddlers Guide to Everglades National Park” will be available for purchase and signed by the author.
