Taylor Creek

There was a bluegrass festival at Fort Christmas Park today, so I wanted to kayak close by. Saw a report on Taylor Creek which said you can launch from the Nova Road Bridge. I have paddled Taylor Creek from the launch near Lone Cabbage Fishcamp. Thought that might have too many airboats on a Saturday. So, I went to Nova Road.

Lakes Maitland, Osceola, Nina, and Minnehaha

Rain forecast in all directions for about 100 miles. But, it was not forecast to start at home until 10 AM. So, I figured I could get a paddle in on the Winter Park Chain before the storm and crowds.
Launched from Fort Maitland Park at 8:20
