Air boating at Stick Marsh!

I went on my first airboat ride this past weekend and I highly recommend it to everyone. It was really quit thrilling. There is nothing like sliding across a sea of water and grass. The location was the Stick Marsh west of Vero Beach Florida.

The stick marsh area and Blue Cyprus Lake are the headwaters of the St Johns river which is one of a few rivers in the USA that flow north. The St Johns and it's marshes run 310 miles north to Jacksonville. Created in 1987, the Stick Marsh/Farm 13 Reservoir is synonymous with trophy bass fishing. This 6,500-acre reservoir near Fellsmere, west of Vero Beach, became one of the hottest bass lakes in the country during the past decade.

We were treated to a variety of wildlife, numerous birds, deer and of course alligators, lots and lots of alligators. The pictures you see are of the boat we toured on and the type of scenery you will experience.
