The Braden River is a 21-mile waterway that drains an 83-square-mile area watershed in west-central Florida and is the largest tributary of the Manatee River.
The Braden River feels like stepping into a version of Florida that existed long before master-planned communities and six-lane roads. Moss hangs low over the water, kayaks drift quietly past cypress and palms, and tucked into the bends of the river are places that still feel wonderfully “Old Florida.” - Wikipedia
