Kayaking on the beautiful Cypress Waterway.
Steve and Donna Young have lived at The Isles of Collier Preserve for five years. They were first attracted by the community’s blueway and greenway trails. “The Cypress Waterway is one of many features that make The Isles of Collier Preserve a very special place to live,” says Donna. “Steve and I are either biking or walking these trails every week, and we love going to the nature watch tower where we have encountered plenty of beauty and wildlife. Having part of the community preserved is very important to us.”
Avid kayakers Steve and Donna Young enjoy exploring the Cypress Waterway and points beyond.
