This paddle offers several miles of cypress shoreline as well as numerous islands and sandbars, some suited for primitive camping. Wading birds, osprey and wood ducks are common in this area.

With Spiers Landing, one can easily paddle a half of a day, a full day or spend an overnight on one of the islands without becoming bored or seeing it all. The cypress shoreline to the south of the landing provides excellent fishing opportunities for bluegills and red-eared sunfish. Numerous ospreys can be seen nesting in the area as well as an assortment of wading birds and the occasional alligator sunning on the sandy beaches. Many of the islands offer several small beaches and clear high ground for camping.  As always, please ensure you leave the areas you visit as you found them – taking all that you brought with you and leaving only footprints.
