The Nature Coast Canoe and Kayak Trail begins on the Salt River off Crystal River (near the Marine Science Center) and follows markers on the Salt River South to the Homosassa River.  Then the trail goes east on the Homosassa about a few hundred feet to Battle Creek. The Southern leg of the trail, the Michael Byer Memorial Trail, picks up the markers right at the Homosassa and Battle Creek, going south through Seven Cabbage Cut to the mouth of the Chassahowitzka. The Nature Coast Canoe & Kayak Trail takes a paddler through some of the most pristine salt marshes in the Southeast. Experienced guides assure safe passage through the mazes of tidal creeks.
The trail generally features protected calm waters with some potentially strong tidal flows through state preserve lands. The paddler will be rewarded with white pelicans and wood storks in the winter, and frequent dolphin encounters in some of the protected bays. The trail also provides a great adventure for those interested in bird watching! So bring your binoculars and enjoy birding at it's best!
