Canoeing the Grassy Waters Preserve in West Palm Beach

If you live in the Palm Beaches, you and your family have the opportunity to canoe the Grassy Water Preserve every Saturday as the City of West Palm hosts a group tour along the 23 square-mile stretches of water while a guide tells paddlers about the history and ecology of the area. The cruise is through one of Florida's cleanest reservoirs on the preserve which also serves as a source of drinking water to residents of West Palm Beach.

It's only $10 for adults and $5 for kids ages 6 and over to participate in the fun! You'll need to sign up with a partner because it takes 2 to paddle in a canoe. The cruise starts at 10 a.m. and takes about an hour and a half to complete. You're asked to check-in at 9 a.m. at the Nature Center, which by the way, is also a great place to hang at after the cruise. It has features like a boardwalk and rocking chairs so you can enjoy viewing nature untouched.

Reserve the next open spot on a tour and explore the organic parts of Palm Beach County. Call 561-804-4985.

Location: 8264 Northlake Blvd., West Palm Beach, FL 33412.
