“Clays in the Glades” in the Everglades

By Jeane Brennan

Situated on 70 acres of faultless beauty surrounded by the Everglades National Park and Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve is Port of the Island Gun Club. “For more than forty years,” D.J., director of the club and property says, “Port of the Islands Gun Club has been southwest Florida’s primary trap, skeet and sporting clays shooting club and facility. We offer,” D.J. continues, “Trap, skeet, five stand sporting clays, and a fully automated 15 station sporting clays course.”

The gun club is approximately 20 minutes from Marco and 20 miles southeast of

downtown Naples on the historic Tamiami Trail and in the area of the Port of the Islands resort complex. RV hookups for shoots are available on the gun club property and lodging, dining, and a marina are options on the south side of Rt-41, or, Tamiami Trail, at the Port of the Islands Resort.
