? about canoe

I recommend avoiding taking your canoe into the Gulf. You are only asking for trouble. However, there are amble lakes around here, not too far from Camping on the Gulf which are very suitable for a canoe. Those lakes are one place where I canoe. Many of the Lakes seasonally open to the Gulf so you will be right there if you want to be, but you will be able to ditch many people while out there. 😀

I wonder if Walton County will ever put in county parks around some of these coastal dune lakes. Redfish Lake looks like it would be quite a bit of fun to canoe in.

Lord, I hope they don't put in county parks :puke: around the lakes. It is already being destroyed by development. There are public accesses to most of the lakes already.

How do you get to them? It would seem that these need to be well marked so that everyone could enjoy them.

:floor:Funny, one entrance sign on the one to Big Redfish is covered by bushes. Tell me which one you want to get to and I will see if I can describe how to access it.

Dumb question--I have read about people kayaking. Do you do this in the gulf?
We have a canoe--if we brought it would be have much use for it--staying at camping on the gulf in Destin.

Hey Arkiegirl, you can canoe the lakes and bay, but they will seem really tame after doing the Buffalo river! Lots of serenity though :clap_1:
