Weedon Island Preserve, Pinellas County, Tampa Bay, Florida
Richard Becker looks out from the canoe/kayak launch as the sun rises over Weedon Island Preserve. Nestled between the thriving cities of Tampa and St. Petersburg, Weedon Island Preserve offers a fun and easy daytrip for fishing, hiking and paddling. 2 mile and 4 mile paddling trails meander through mangrove tunnels, over seagrass flats and around mangrove islands. The preserve also offers ample wildlife viewing on hiking trails and from an observation tower. .Photo by James Branaman
