ConditionGood - Conditions are ideal for a canoe or kayak. Boats typically will drag on fewer than one-quarter of riffles, if at all, and portages are unnecessary or rare. Normal float lengths can be attempted without a problem.
Notes icon NotesWe put in at the access north of Burrell Boom and paddled along No-Name Lagoon listening for turtles. We detected two Hicatee signals along this stretch. We paddled to the east and then north to a small lagoon. We observed (sight and sound) several Brown Basilisk lizards escaping and certainly witnessed the aftersplash of several Morelet's Crocodiles. At some point, Day picked up a Mexican Tree Frog in his boot and it made its way up his pant leg until he discovered it there. The northern part of this lagoon was typified by low-growing branches and vines that we needed to bushwhack through while in the canoe. Before reaching the second lagoon, we needed to portage the canoe through a small, shallow run.
