Description

Going up Gabrielle Creek is particularly interesting, because of its beauty and the different environments it crosses (mangrove, riparian forest, grassy marsh, flooded forest). A small tributary of the Gabrielle creek provides access (only in the rainy season) to the magnificent Pali Lake, located in the Kaw marshes nature reserve. Note that this trip can only be done by boat.

Français: La crique gabrielle qui borde une forêt littorale permet de remonter jusqu'au lac Pali (foret immergée). La remontée de la crique Gabrielle est particulièrement intéressante, en raison de sa beauté et des différents milieux qu’elle traverse (mangrove, forêt ripicole, marais herbacé, forêt inondée). Un petit affluent de la crique Gabrielle permet de rejoindre (uniquement en saison des pluies) le magnifique lac Pali, situé sur la réserve naturelle des marais de Kaw.
