Paddling Calendar The Canoe Outpost offers all of our trips on the Little Manatee River every day we are open. Whether you need one boat or 50, we are ready to serve you 7 days a week. For larger groups of 6 boats or more, we can organize and service a custom trip for you on any waterway and on any day with advanced reservations and customized pricing. Reservation and cancellation policies for calendar-scheduled trips: Due to the nature and limited capacity of these scheduled trips on other waterways and special trips on the Little Manatee River, our reservation policy is different than for our standard Little Manatee River Trips run from our home base. Reservations for calendar scheduled trips are paid for in full at time of reservation. Cancellations made at least 72 hours before the trip time will receive a full refund. Cancellations may be made by e-mail or phone but are not confirmed until you receive a confirmation code from us via e-mail or phone. No refunds will be given for cancellations made within 72 hours of the scheduled trip time or for late shows or no shows for any reason. Cockroach Bay Trips: The Cockroach Bay Aquatic Preserve is an environmental gem in Tampa Bay. It is located at the mouth and south of the Little Manatee River. It is comprised of the largest contiguous mangrove estuary in Tampa Bay along with the Little Manatee River, one of the most natural river systems in Florida. The estuary’s shallow waters, extensive mangrove islands, bird rookeries and barrier islands offer a relaxing glimpse of the bay before development. Please see our Trips/Cockroach Bay Trips page for more information and pictures. Braden river Trips: The Braden River is located in Manatee County between Bradenton and Sarasota. It is a slow moving river which may be easily paddled in either direction. Although the paddler will see increasingly more residential development along it’s banks, in sections the Braden paddler can get a glimpse in to old Florida. Birds, turtles, alligators and even otters are seen. Please see our Trips/Braden River Trips page for more information and pictures. Moonlight Paddles on the Little Manatee River: The Little Manatee takes on a different appearance at night when the moonlight shines off your paddles, moonflowers bloom and the sounds of nature surround you. A Canoe Outpost staff member will escort the trip. Our 2014 paddling calendar is not yet available. Please call for information, and feel free to join us on the 15th for our moonlight paddle!
