The Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance (CBA) of Northwest Florida State College announces the fall session of its award winning eco-tourism initiative, Discover Roads Less Traveled: Eco-Adventures of Walton County. Cool off this fall with an outdoor adventure!
Led by local experts and professional naturalists, Discover Roads Less Traveled offers visitors and local residents opportunities to explore, discover and experience the rich biodiversity that has branded the panhandle of Florida, specifically Walton County- extraordinary.
“CBA’s eco-tours are intended to bring participants to local, off the beaten path environmental wonders,” states CBA’s eco-tour coordinator, Brandy Foley. “We hope that these tours will entice individuals to experience our local environment from a different perspective.”
Living up to its award of Best Outdoor Adventure in the ‘2015 Perfect in South Walton- Best of the Best’ list, the array of eco-adventures this fall will surely appease the appetite of anyone interested in an outdoor adventure. Fit for all levels of experience! Discover the rich history of the pristine Coffeen Nature Preserve, learn about the rare coastal dune lakes of Walton County on a kayak tour, acquire new techniques to fishing in the surf at Grayton Beach State Park, or even hike through the wet prairies at Point Washington State Forest. One of our newest additions is the Nonie’s Ark Animal EVEntures – an evening hiking tour geared towards educating kids on local fauna, but enjoyed by adults as well! Fall tours kick off August 19 with a kayak paddle on Western Lake.
