The weather is great and it’s time to paddle! With more than 1,000 miles of coastline and 1,711 miles of rivers, streams and creeks, it’s no secret that Florida is a water-lover’s playground- but do you know all the opportunities waiting for your next paddling adventures?
Whether you are ready to take a gentle paddle along a winding river, a longer excursion on the Suwannee River Wilderness Trail, or even a bioluminescent kayak tour, you’ll find some of the most beautiful paddling routes in the country here in Florida. If you’re ready to start your adventure, you’ll want to download the Florida Paddling Trails brochure, located here in .pdf format.
