Canoeing on the Loxahatchee

One! Two! Paddle that canoe! And paddle we did, around hair-pin turns, over two tiny waterfalls, around numerous cypress knees and under several low hanging branches. The kids from Troy Academy handled their canoes like pros as they sallied down the Loxahatchee, even though it was a first time experience for most of them.

After a picnic lunch and a swim in the river, they were ready for the trip back upstream. We saw many beautiful birds, several turtles and an alligator. After enjoying some ice cold watermelon on the bank of the Loxahatchee, all decided they would do it again.
