Prices:

You will handle your own canoe or kayak rentals.  It is a first-come, first-serve basis but that shouldn't be a problem in November.  Canoe two hours for $16.00 and $5.00 for each additional hour.  See Fee Schedule.

Carpooling:

Nikki McSweeney will arrange carpooling.  Some folks MIGHT meet at Carl's Furniture, 2301 W Atlantic Blvd, Pompano Beach, FL which is on the N side of Atlantic about 1/2 mile W of  I-95 in Pompano Beach.  See Map.

Optional:

There are lots of other features at the park including hiking trails, a tour boat and cabins.   See Jonathon Dickinson State Park Features.  Cabins can be rented but there is a two night minimum.  If interested you should call Tina on October 9th at 561-746-1466 to reserve as cabins can be reserved only 30 days prior.
