Dog and People on River Beach

Many of mother nature's critters find Ray's Canoe Hideaway and other spots along the Manatee River just right!

Lovely Swallowtail drinking nectar from azalea

This Palamedes Swallowtail finds the habitat at Ray's Canoe Hideaway irresistible.

As you paddle the river, you will see flashes of brilliant color dance in mid-air.

You may see a wide variety of beautiful butterflies and moths, including the Florida White, the Great Southern White, the bright yellow Southern Dogface, the Monarch-mimicking Viceroy, or the tiny spotted Cassius Blue.
