What a beautiful day! A bright clear day and cool enough to be comfortable and still have lots of manatees staying in the river. We had lunch at Margarita Grill,…

Paddle Trip Recap: Part 3 - Linger Lodge, Ibis, an Paddle Trip Recap: Part 3 - Linger Lodge, Ibis, and the Trip Back!
We made it to the famous Linger Lodge for our lunch break! This spot is our wonderfully quirky halfway point and lunch destination. This spot leans into its rustic, woods-adjacent location with stuffed critters everywhere—including alligators, rattlesnakes, and foxes—and famously fun (but not real!) "road kill" menu items. We were treated to live music by a talented guitarist who even got a few of our members up for a spontaneous dance!
We only have one shot from lunch in this batch of pictures, their incredible "meal-in-a-glass" Bloody Mary, loaded up with mini-hamburgers, bacon, pickles, and more!
The return trip brought us another great wildlife sighting—a flock of Ibis gathered at the river entrance (check out those beautiful shots!). On a more somber note, we did spot a dead deer near the river edge, which is a reminder of the wild nature of this environment.
The paddle back was smooth thanks to the helpful wind that picked up! Thank you again to all our adventurers!#OspreyBayOutdoors #LingerLodge #BradenRiver #KayakAdventure #Ibis #BloodyMary
Paddle Trip Recap: Part 2 - Cruising the Beautiful Paddle Trip Recap: Part 2 - Cruising the Beautiful Braden River!
We loved paddling up the river, taking in the beautiful scenery and  bluffs along the edges. It’s always fun to see the lovely flowers blooming at the water's edge!
The river was alive with action! We spotted tons of turtles soaking up the sun on logs—a classic Florida river sight. We enjoyed checking out the homes along the bank, though it was a sobering reminder to see some still damaged from last year's storms.
Keep enjoying the views in this second set of photos! Part 3, is coming soon!

What a day for our 8.3-mile round trip paddle from Jigs Landing to the Linger Lodge! It was a mostly cloudy and overcast day, but that didn't dampen our spirits. The weather was perfect for our group of  paddlers!
As we transitioned from the lake to the Braden River, the wildlife put on quite a show! Check out these shots of the magnificent Turkey Vultures perched high in the tallest trees, wings spread wide. It felt like they were getting ready for a great day, too!
Thank you for joining us! Stay tuned for Part 2!
