Everglades National Park
Whitewater Bay

Whitewater Bay is a large, open body of water that can prove challenging for some boaters.  Strong winds and long distances can make this an arduous paddle for canoes and kayaks.  Navigation can by tricky thanks to the monotony of the mangrove shoreline.  Visitors are encouraged to use NOAA Chart #11433 to assist them in exploring this area.
