10000 Island Wilderness Kayaking – The Ten Thousand Islands Wilderness

One of this country’s best kept paddling secrets is nestled down in Florida’s southwestern tip in Everglades National Park. It is called the 10,000 Island Wilderness. The Ten Thousand Islands area is one of the greatest secrets of the paddling world. This exotic place is located inside Everglades National Park where you will find beautiful mangrove estuaries, calm bays and unique birds and wildlife. You can also find rare trees such as the Royal Poinciana and the Plumeria

Most of the “islands” of the Ten Thousand Islands aren’t real islands at all, just clumps of mosquito-infested red mangrove growing out of the shallow Gulf of Mexico. Yet, there are some great islands with beach shorelines, such as Tiger Key. So Despite the name, there are nowhere near ten thousand islands in this region-just a few hundred.

Top-notch navigation skills are a must for this trip. Do to the many creeks, channels, and bays in this area, it is very easy to lose your way. Caution and planing is needed. Get a waterproof NOAA marine chart before leaving out on this Everglades kayaking trip. Don’t consider carrying anything other than a waterproof chart. For this kind of trip a compass and knowledge of how to use it is a must You would do well to have the navigational backup of a GPS unit as well. This might seem silly to some but, please be sure you know how to use these tools before heading out on a tricky paddle like this.

A great place to start your first Florida everglades kayaking activity is at Chokoloskee Island. Kayaking and fishing are top activities on this quaint and quiet island. The variety of fish species available here is vast and includes Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, Sea Trout, Catfish, and many more. There are many paddling trails in the area and you can head out for multiple day trips by kayak and canoe.

This are of Florida can be very relaxing and fun, but you have to realize where you are. This is a remote wilderness setting. Sunscreen and bug repellent is a must. Since all the water in the area is saltwater, all you will have access to is what you bring with you. Everyone coming on your trip will need to bring a gallon of water per day spent in the area. Make sure to bring at least a gallon of water per person for every day that you plan on spending in this area of the Everglades. All the water in the area is saltwater, so even the raccoons are dying of thirst! They will chew holes through your bottles to get to the freshwater, so make sure to protect them at all times.

Other than winter months, sand flies and mosquitoes can be just as big of pests as the raccoons. Take lots of insect repellent. Be sure your mosquito netting bars the tiny sand flies as well as mosquitoes. Our trip in late May was comfortable but I think we were lucky as the bugs were not in full force just yet.

As you probably know, canoeing and kayaking can be challenging and physically exerting at times.The Ten Thousands Islands is an exciting place to visit if you have those navigational skills and come prepared for the physical exertion of Everglades kayaking. The Ten Thousand Islands await you. Bon voyage!
