Nestled just a couple miles from Marco Island is a little park specifically for non-motorized water craft. It is called Isle of Capri Paddle Craft Park. This park was built in 2011 after a property designated for a hotel was sold back to the state. The Rookery Bay Reserve restored it as the park to provide an area where non-motorized vessels could explore the back bays and mangrove swamps. It sounded like an ideal place for a little stand-up paddleboard workout since the would be no wake or fuel fumes generated by boaters. After a short drive down to the area what we found was another shining example Florida's many treasures.
