Trip Overview
Crane’s Creek runs from downtown Melbourne through shoreline, to urban to cozy creek environments. You'll launch from Front St. Boat Ramp and paddle around the point on the Indian River Lagoon. Once you make the turn into the creek, you'll pass through the harbor area and under the train tracks, passing Melbourne's river frontage. Along the way you will likely see some dolphins, manatees, maybe an alligator or two, otters, and birds too many to list.
The paddle is about 5 miles roundtrip - expect to be out for about 3.5 - 4 hours. This paddle is suitable for kids over the age of 8.
