From Spiers Landing, you will paddle around a number of islands of different sizes. One of the larger islands, Church Island has an old cemetery near its north shore which provides a resting place for a number of Confederate soldiers. Several of the islands have beaches and high areas where you can stop for lunch or camp overnight, but be sure you take your trash with you. You will see ospreys and a wide assortment of wading birds as well as alligators sunning on the shores.

If you stop at any of the islands, insect repellent is recommended in the warm months.

Camping: Primative camping on the islands.
