Map 6: LastHuston Bay to ChevelierBay(3.5 miles)

Chevelier Bay is shallow, with many bars. Run near shore between markers 91 and93 and95 and97.

Another Park Service campsite on the Wilderness Waterway can be reached by turning down the Chatham River toward the Gulf of Mexico. The camp, located about a mile from the turnoff, is at the homesite of the notorious Ed Watson and provides a picnictable, grill,and clearing for campers.

Ed Watson grew sugarcane here and made syrup, grew vegetables, and delivered his crops to the ports of Fort Myers and Key West. He is best known for his misdeeds. He allegedly hired persons with questionable reputations who oftenturnedup missingwhen it came time for them to be paid for their work. Watson met a violent end when he was shot in a confrontation with some of the local citizens on Chokoloskee Island in 1910. The remains ofhis house were razed after Hurricane Donna in 1960, but evidences of his farming operations therestill remain.
