Presents

A Virtual Tour
of
Deer Prairie Creek Preserve


Deer Prairie Creek Preserve South entrance is located on Rt. 41 North, 
just about a 1/2 mile south of River Road.

 
 
 
There's a long dirt road that leads to the park

 
 
It has a very large dirt parking lot to encourage equestrians to bring their horse trailers

 
 
 
And a nice little picnic area around the lake

 
 
 
Their map shows it's relationship to the Myakka River.   On this trip I paddled up 
the Deer Prairie Creek that leads all the way out to I-75

 
 
 
 
This is the small dam that separates the Myakka river from the creek

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
Putting a kayak into the water above the dam is quite easy

The water here is dark and tannic with alligators, turtles and a variety of water birds near the lake.   But as you paddle up the creek... it becomes quite narrow and beautifully lined with palms., and oaks and spanish moss.  The photo's below are pretty self explanatory.

Hope you enjoy your visit.  If anyone else would like to kayak this or other 
beautiful places in the area, I do offer private guided walks and paddles.

Have a great day

Enjoy the tour.


 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
The creek narrows immediately after leaving the lake 
and get more and more beautiful as you go upstream

 
 
 
 
 
 
Trees hanging over the water draped in Spanish moss 
keep things exciting as you go around every corner

 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
Every so often you run into what seems an impassible swamp like area.  But the vegetation
is actually just floating on top of the water and you can easily paddle through it 

 
 
 
 
 
Just on the other side the creek becomes even more lush and beautiful

 
 
 
 
 
 There is something uniquely beautiful around every corner.  And since the creek
does not go straight for more than about 100' at a time... there are lots of corners 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 Just when you think the end is in sight...

 
 
 
 
 
You go around the corner and you're in a completely different environment

 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
If you like nature... be sure to stop by my 
POD (picture of the day) page
that changes every time I get another really great picture

 
 
 
Just don't plan on doing too much on the banks of the creek as they are 
mostly covered with vegetation and not accessible from a kayak.

 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Watch out for spider webs when paddling under overhanging trees and logs
