Linger Lodge
A Classic Old Florida-style
RV Park and Restaurant
| |
The Linger Lodge is a must for an Old Florida experience. Located east of I-75 on the Braden River. Lakewood Ranch, beautiful Florida vistas surround it, and no shortage of alligators, turtles, and other wildlife.
The Linger Lodge has been in the making for 76 years (since 1945). It has withstood many owners, each adding personal memorabilia to create this unique place. The walls are adorned with various taxidermied creatures, including fictional creations like the Jackalope, the Alaskan Fur Fish, and the Walking Catfish.

|
The restaurant serves hearty Southern cuisine and boasts an eclectic menu serving burgers and sandwiches, barbecued meats, fried seafood, and fried green tomatoes. Order the frog legs and the seafood étouffée for an authentic Southern treat. In the words of weatherman Al Rocker, it's "one of the top five weirdest restaurants in America."
The RV Park established as a 100-acre fishing and canoeing campground, is now host for those seeking the perfect RV-glamper getaway. It sits on the Northern bank of the Braden River. Sites rent for $60 - $100 per night.

YOUR OUTDOOR ADVENTURE AWAITS
Explore Mangrove Tunnels and
Watch Spectular Sunsets
| |
As hot summer days approach, there are great ways to beat the heat—keep cool aboard a kayak or boat!
Kayaking is a fun outdoor activity for discovering the hidden world of Sarasota Bay— with its amazing estuaries and mangrove tunnels. I highly recommend booking a guided tour with Sea Life Kayak Adventures.
During a guided tour, you'll venture through winding, shaded paths of mangrove trees; the tunnels are the perfect habitat for wildlife. Up close, you'll see beautiful shore birds, bald eagles, osprey, and perhaps a manatee will greet you while paddling through the waters.

Luckily all tours are in salt water, which is not suitable habitat for alligators.

Are you looking for a way to celebrate a special occasion with a small group of friends this summer? Booking a private cruise with Kokomo Charters is a luxurious treat.
Away from the crowded shoreline, a day of sightseeing will take you out on the Gulf of Mexico for a few hours. Or take a sunset cruise to watch the spectacular painted sky as you sip cocktails, listen to music, and nibble on the charcuterie board you brought with you from the Artisan Cheese Company. Then, head home when the sun finally goes down, and say goodnight to another day.
