Get ready for a one-of-a-kind outdoor adventure that blends history, nature, and paddling! Join as we get to glide through the winding mangrove forests of Robinson Preserve with an archaeologist from the Florida Public Archaeology Network. Along the way you’ll uncover the fascinating stories hidden in the landscape — from ecological restoration to spotting traces of indigenous peoples’ past. This paddle isn’t just scenic — it’s educational too. You’ll learn how land use has changed over centuries and what clues archaeologists look for in the field. 
👣 What to Expect
• A guided intermediate kayak paddle through serene mangrove waterways. 
• Insight into archaeological sites and historical land use. 
• Stops to explore remnants of the past and learn how the environment shaped human activity. 
🎒 Pro Tips
• Wear long pants and sturdy shoes — we’ll go just off-trail to see an ancient mound. 
• You will get wet entering and exiting your kayak — embrace it! 
• Ages 16+ welcome; life jackets and whistles required. 
• Kayaks, paddles, and safety gear are available to borrow (first-come, first-served). 
This is the perfect mix of paddle vibes + brain vibes — a unique way to explore local history from the water 🌊🪨.
