Bay City Walking Dredge — Attraction in Florida

We visited on a Saturday afternoon in late December 2024. There was no one at the gate but remember to pay your entry fee. We visited for our excursion with Go Cats On The Water but there was a park ranger driving around on a golf cart asking folks for their park receipt or proof of payment.

We arrived a little early so we explored a bit before we headed to the marina area. We stopped at the Bay City Walking Dredge which was really cool. The kids really wanted to climb over it and we had to tell them no. There are info plaques everywhere and you can walk up the ramp in the back to take a closer look.

There was a large black snake we're sure basking and trying to take in some of the heat. The kids had a ton of fun watching it slither...

Very much worth a trip into the park to see, doesn't take long but it's a neat...

Very interesting piece of history kit. Boy 1920s dredging of the everglades was...
