The Old Plantation provides the perfect base to explore the vastness of the protected Apalachicola floodplain. Whether you prefer a canoe, kayak or shallow-draft power boat, the watery world of nature awaits around every bend.

The Florida Paddling trail come right in front of the Old Plantation and is marked up through Montgomery Slough which leads to East River and dozens of beautiful detours in between. This is a world of nesting herons in the spring, foraging bears along the banks in the summer blooming mallows the entire year. It is a place of peace and an enjoyment of nature seldom equaled.
