About

The two hour paddle tour takes you up the river one mile (two miles round trip) and just West of the Manatee River dam. As you venture towards the dam, the river gets much more narrow with extra twists and turns, making for a challenging but fun time for a novice or experienced stand up paddler! We also make several stops along the trip to search for shark teeth!
