My first official CT paddle was Aug 30, 2019, Shell Mound to Cedar Key, Florida. Visiting Cedar Key had been on my 'To Visit' list, so there was even more anticipation for this trip.
Cedar Key, Florida is a quaint 'Old Florida" town, rich in history, delicious seafood, and proud locals. In the late 1800's, it was a major port, primarily for the cedar logs and pencil industry. Cedar Key was originally located on Atsena Otie, a key (island) roughly a half mile away. In 1896 a major hurricane killed 31 people and destroyed the town. Atsena Otie was abandoned a few years later, with many residents relocating to the mainland, and what we know as Cedar Key today. |
