Canoe Park Discover the natural beauty that surrounds you as you gently glide down the Estero River. The Canoe Park is located at the northwestern end of Pelican Sound at the River Club. Canoes and kayaks are available, free of charge, to members and their guests. The Estero River is part of the Great Calusa Blueway paddling trail. As you leave the launch, a turn to the right brings you inland past the Koreshan State Park; a turn to your left leads you out towards the backwaters. Either way you choose, scenic wildlife abounds. Watercraft is signed out at the Main Gate. Daily 7:00 a.m. ~ 5:00 p.m.   Canoes must remain within five miles of the Pelican Sound launch site. The responsible party must be 18 years of age and have a Pelican Sound Photo ID Member Card or Houseguest Card and a Photo ID.   Click here to see Lee County Paddling Trails.
