Paddling

Get Ready to Row-Row-Row

Paddle adventurers take it to the great wide open to explore the waters, shallow or deep, fresh or salty. It is best described as a world of discovery at an easy pace. Marvel at marine life up close and personal, or absorb the stunning views either on stand-up boards, kayaks, or canoes. From freshwater spring-fed rivers to salty tidal waterways, Northwest Florida has plenty of paddling trails. 

Some paddling trails are intended for more advanced paddlers; take the time to visit individual paddling trail information before embarking.
