Description
Bay Boardwalk is one of a few Weedon Island Preserve trails that offers an observation deck over Tampa Bay as well as a tree-shaded picnic area. It loops off of the paved Upland Trail. Besides the mangroves and wildlife, don't be surprised to see a kayak going under the boardwalk; kayak paths run under a couple of sections of the boardwalk out to Tampa Bay.
