Wild Florida Airboats Embarks on Adventure through the Headwaters of the Everglades

July 12, 2012 - PRLog -- Wild Florida Airboats (http://wildfloridairboats.com), an airboat tour and alligator exhibit attraction, is pleased to announce that on July 26th, 2012, they will embark on an adventure to paddle nearly 50 miles by canoe through Shingle Creek to the docks at Wild Florida Airboats on Cypress Lake.  They will take this journey in an effort to promote Orlando's Eco Tourism, create awareness for the Florida Everglades, and donate to The Nature Conservancy.

In the peak of Florida's summer, the guys at Wild Florida will set sail at the Headwaters of the Everglades near the Millenia Mall in Orlando.  Their canoes will then follow Shingle Creek through downtown Kissimmee, where it eventually empties into West Lake Tohopekaliga.  Shingle Creek flows under the Florida Turnpike, 528 Beachline, 417 Greenway, Osceola Parkway and Highway 192.  After this, Wild Florida will paddle nearly 10 miles across West Lake Toho to the Southport Canal.  After navigating the canal, they plan to float across Cypress Lake to their final destination, Wild Florida Airboats, located on the beautiful shores of Cypress Lake.

“This journey will take our guys through highly developed regions of Orlando as well as total wilderness areas,” says Ranier Munns, co-founder of Wild Florida. “Who knows what they might find and see?”

Wild Florida’s journey is expected to take 2-3 days to complete.  You can follow their progress and check for updates along the way on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and at wildfloridairboats.com.  Watch for their story in the local media too!  

Wild Florida is accepting sponsorships and partners to join forces as they make this expedition a reality.  Each partner will be highlighted before, during, and after the trip.  Also, a special page will be added to Wild Florida’s website, http://wildfloridairboats.com, to document the journey and spotlight those who helped make it happen.  Please contact Sam Haught if you would like to learn more about getting involved: sam@wildfloridairboats.com  or 407-957-3135.
