A small group gathered Friday afternoon, July 27, for a guided kayak tour at Gamble Rogers Memorial State Park.

The outing on the Intracoastal Waterway provided a tour of the saltmarsh, in which participants not only learned about kayaks, but also about the importance of the dynamic ecosystem. The park has been conducting these tours once a month since they acquired the kayaks, but with the addition of the new Friends of Gamble Rogers State Park nonprofit group, there are hopes of offering the tour more often.

The next kayak tour will be 9 a.m. Aug. 17. Reservations are required. The cost of the tour is $25 per person, and proceeds will benefit the Friends of Gamble Rogers State Park. Call 517-2086, or email [email protected].
