2007 "Paddle of the Pass" at Matlacha

|
| This "signature event" celebrates Southwest Florida's 190 mile marked paddling trail, The Great Calusa Blueway, which meanders from its southern tip at Bonita Springs to its northern-most points around Pine Island Sound and up the Caloosahatchee River. Festival goers and paddlers will be able to participate in a wide variety of events and activities countywide. |
|
|
|
| The third-annual Calusa Blueway Paddling Festival will take place between October 25 and November 2, 2008, in Lee
County’s waterfront communities of Pine Island, Fort Myers Beach,
Sanibel and Captiva islands, Bonita Springs and Estero, Cape Coral, North Fort Myers, Fort
Myers, Alva and Buckingham. |

|
| Paddlers, competitors, families and outdoor enthusiasts from around Southwest Florida, the state
and the nation are expected to attend this one-of-a-kind eco-event. Nine days of festivities will
include competitive canoe/kayak races, a pro-am kayak fishing tournament, paddling clinics and
demonstrations, seminars, family activities, archaeological and environmental events, guided
tours, a speakers' series and more celebrations along the Great Calusa Blueway. |
