The City of Winter Haven’s Natural Resources Division is hosting a series of kayak ecotours on various lakes in our town.
Join them for a free tour of Lake Maude this Saturday, April 11th from 9 am – 12 pm. Their kayak tours give you a chance to experience the local lakes up close, taking in every detail – and are led by the knowledgeable natural resources staff who can teach you all about our local wildlife, plants, and what keeps the lakes healthy!

Additional info:
These tours will be short (within 3 hours) but information-packed trips where residents and visitors to our town can get out for a fun morning on the lakes & learn about lake health, wildlife, plant life, and other general lake ecology in the process!
