North Port Marina Ramp: The Venice Lemon Bay Kayakers will have a kayak trip with a launch time of 9:30am on Saturday December 21th launching from the North Port Marina Ramp in North Port.  The trip will be 3 hours in duration, 7 miles long, rated intermediate.

Note:  After the paddle there will be a potluck lunch (bring dish to pass) followed by a meeting to select January paddle locations.

“Launch time of 9:30am” means that you are in the water and ready to paddle.  Please allow ample time for travel, unloading your kayak and preparing for the trip.

Facilities:  The Park has a concrete ramp, a gazebo with picnic tables, trashcans, restrooms and a BBQ grill. The parking area is asphalt with additional grassy area parking.  

Directions:   From the north take I-75 to exit 191 (River Road) and turn right at the bottom of the ramp. Go 5.5 miles on River Road and turn left onto U.S. 41 towards North Port.  Go 3.2 mile and turn right at the traffic light at the Biscayne Plaza Shopping Center on to Biscayne Drive and go .6 miles over a canal and turn right on to Branch Terrace. Go 100 feet and turn right on to Kenwood Drive for .6 miles and the Park will be on the right.  If coming from the south take Hwy 41 to the Traffic lights at 41 and Cornelius and turn left.  Immediately after your turn take the first right onto Chancellor Blvd. and follow it to the intersection of Chancellor and Kenwood.  The Park will be on your right.

                         SAFETY COMES FIRST.  ALWAYS WEAR YOUR PFD!
