As a nativite Floridian, I can tell you that they🐊 do not bother you if you do not bother them. Plus, they like the other white meat 😜 Do not walk small dogs all my the river, don't dive for megs in their nest or near them during mating season and all is good 🤙

It's amazing, it's just up river and to the right from the Rainbow Springs State Park Campground, shhhh 😂

On the side of the sandbar it's about waist deep, I was able to climb up the tracks to mount the GoPro so, not deep. On the other side of the tracks it drops off a bit, but all around that area you have patches of shallow clear blue water, it's stunning!

🐊😂🐊😂 Right, according to Wikipedia, Alligator Reef is named for the USS Alligator, a ship assigned to suppress the trade of slaves coming from the African coast in the 1820s. In November 1822, the Alligator was escorting a convoy of merchant ships when she ran aground on the shallow reef. Therefore, not scary at all and an excellent place for families to snorkel as it's quite shallow.

Fantastic! Canoe Outpost had to move locations but as of today they are operating out of Upriver Adventures or through Peace River Charters. You can get the latest info on their Facebook page - facebook.com/CanoeOutpostPeaceRiver?mibextid=ZbWKwL

Thank you so much 🤩

Thank you so much, I love finding Florida gems and sharing them with you all so you can enjoy them too 💙

Thank you! 🤩

Fantastic, have the best time!! Yes I put it in my dry bag and took it on the SUP 🤙

Yes, I was very happy to see the quality of the kayaks they rent at the campground too! I was able to keep my SUP there too which was great since it's a bit of a hault from site to launch. My son likes kayaks so we rented a tandem for $70 full day and it was great. You can also rent by the hour or two, after that is a full day charge but worth it 👌

@@EpicSaltyLife I will be on the lookout for that spring feed. Looked amazing!

@@solida_andrew yes you must, it's amazing and literally right around the corner from camp when you start paddling to the right up river, enjoy! 🤩

@@EpicSaltyLife LOL

Lived in fort pierce for 26 years. My best to ya ! North Beach is nicer than South

@@Hillr2249 is there a name for that beach ? Where is the best part to snorkel in fort pierce ? I love peanut island that’s what made me move to Florida

@Airborne I never heard of peanut island in ft pierce might be new lol but north beach is much better than south you gotta pay but it's worth it. Cleaner etc. I used to snorkel in the inlet. Between N and S Beach! Stay away from avenue D as a side note!

@Airborne peanut island is in Palm Beach County. I lived in st lucie County.

@@Hillr2249 I’m aware of that i was just saying that’s what made me move to Florida it’s hands down the best spot to snorkel in in west palm that’s all

We paid $150 for 4 hours with Fun Rentals, they have one downtown, here is the link, have the best time! 💙 golfcartrentalkeywest.com/?fh-u=266b4d8a-1f62-4b39-b2d2-f0eaf8bf1544

There was one night when my friends got bit up so we shared my lamp and it works amazing!

Thermacell Mosquito Repellent Lantern; No Spray Mosquito Repellent For Patios; Includes 12-Hours of Protection; DEET-Free, Scent-Free, No Flame Citronella Candle Alternative a.co/d/bri3IWX

Thanks for watching 💙 Just a mask and snorkel, find help if you want to dive down to get a closer look at sealife 🤙

Thank you! 💙

Awesome!! Thank you for sharing, I’m so happy you got to enjoy this epic adventure 🤩🤙

Sorry for the delayed response! That’s Awesome!! Water levels start getting lower in February and you can look on the Canoe Outpost Facebook page for a water level update. For fossiling look in areas that stop the stream like trees. Just be aware of your surroundings and do not dig near what could be a gator bed which is usually in the walls of the river. We did the 12 mile run from Gardner then camped. We’ve done a day trip from Brownsville which I believe is 8 miles which is great, you see a lot 👍 Enjoy!

What camera(s) did u use for such awesome vids?

It really does, so beautiful there! I shoot with a GoPro 🤙

Thanks so much, I’m really happy to get comments like yours, feels great to be able to share these experiences with you all! 💙

Thanks so much! 💙
