Ted Sperling Park

Park

👍👍 Great place to paddle! Mangrove tunnels are fun to weave through. The marked tunnels (numbered) seem to be wider and easy to navigate, while some of the side tunnels have really low clearance (like .. lay down flat on a paddle board low). It can be eerily quiet and peaceful at the same time. The c...
