There is a lot of wildlife in the canal to enjoy watching, including but not limited to: otters, fish, turtles, iguanas, and many varieties of birds. The neighbor across the canal feeds corn to the birds and ducks, which is fun to watch. You may want to buy an extra loaf of bread to feed small chunks to the fish and birds as well. *Please note that there may also be alligators on occasion, so make sure children are watched at all times and do not play in the brush down by the canal. For safety reasons, children must wear life jackets while down by the canal. Kayaks: There are 3 single kayaks and paddles available for your use.

Then turn the knobs on the grill to ignite. When you are done, be sure to close the propane tank valve, and clean the grill. *Please note that there will be a $35 fee if the grill is not cleaned or the propane is left on.
