About Braden River

Our longest trip — high clay bluffs, cypress canopy, and lunch on the screened porch at Linger Lodge, one of Florida's most eccentric waterfront restaurants.

The Braden river is the longest paddle trip we do and one of the most scenic. We paddle upriver to one of Florida’s most interesting restaurants for lunch, the Linger Lodge. We eat out on their huge screened in back porch, overlooking the river. Be sure to take a tour of the entire restaurant before we leave. The paddle back down river is always quicker and easier.
