Canoeing to an Ancient Midden at Alexander Wilderness

Take a trip with Wild Florida Adventures through Alexander Wilderness. On this trip, we visited an ancient shell midden. This area was inhabited for thousands of years by endurant Florida Native Americans who lived off the land and persevered through every difficulty and weathered every storm. One can only imagine what ancient Florida must have looked like. Remnants of their ancient cultures survive today. They deposited shellfish and bones of all sorts and built up pyramidal earthen mounds and middens. Attestation of their exuberant culture can be seen in the detailed artwork imprinted on potsherds that remain today.
