Come join us for an exciting exploration of Blue Cypress Lake on June 18th. Blue Cypress Lake is the largest lake in Indian River County and is a ten square mile naturalist paradise. The lake is full of dwarf cypress trees, most of which contain Osprey nests which allow us to get an eye level view of nesting ospreys. The lake is also has alligators (of course!), eagles, egrets, herons, black and yellow crowned night herons and more!

We will explore the lake by pontoon boat, but sign up quickly as this field trip is limited to six people – as that is the capacity of the boat. We will meet at Middleton Fish Camp at 7400 Blue Cypress Road, Vero Beach, FL 32966. The boat will leave at 11:00am and will last for two hours. Afterward we will meet somewhere for lunch then go explore the Fort Drum Conservation area about twenty minutes from Middleton Fish Camp. Be sure to bring your camera! The fee for this field trip is $45.

There is a free boat ramp at Middleton Fish camp, so if you would rather bring your own canoe or kayak and paddle the lake instead of taking the pontoon boat, please do so and you can still join us afterward for lunch and hiking at Fort Drum.
