For paddlers by paddlers... With a temperate climate, over 1000 miles of coastline, and over 1700 miles of rivers, creeks, and spring runs, Florida is a paddlers paradise. As avid Florida recreational kayakers (sit-on-tops), we mostly enjoy comfortable half-day trips, ideal for most residents and Florida visitors. We seek nature, wildlife, exercise, and calm waters. In most cases, we avoid motorboats. Weather is important. We are not adventure seekers. No overnight camping.

Over 95 destinations...  See for yourself with detailed maps and photos. Browse in full privacy with no pop-ups and no sign-ins needed.

By kayak or canoe, plus some fine opportunities for paddleboarders too, we strive to be the most useful catalog of Florida paddling destinations on the Internet. We add and update regularly, so please come back often.
