Kayak and Canoe Adventures

We kayak down the Chipola River in north Florida, stopping to explore a cave called the Ovens, and have lunch alongside a spring.

At Bald Point State State Park, we kayak by fishermen, oystermen, migratory ducks, and monarch butterflies- some of the best of natural north Florida.

We kayak to several Wacissa River springs an unseasonably warm January Day. Reptiles were out in full force, and it wasn’t a bad day for a swim.

The upper Apalachicola River has geology like no other in Florida. Geologist Harley Means reads rocks and finds fossils in Means Creek and on Alum Bluff.

We canoe down the Upper Chipola River, a slice of “Old Florida.” That includes ghosts from the 1800s and a little unpredictability while on the water.

Kayak Tate’s Hell and ride with the Riverkeeper through the Apalachicola River delta. These wetlands & waterways are important to the local seafood economy.

On Roaming the Red Hills, a scouting mission has us kayaking- and walking, climbing, wading, and hacking our way through- the Ochlockonee River in Georgia.

We kayak the spring fed waters of Merritt’s Mill Pond, a scenic corner of the Apalachicola watershed in Jackson County.

A WFSU producer takes his 4-year-old son kayaking and camping for two days of Apalachicola RiverTrek. A companion cycle trip tours forests along the river.

The Aucilla River’s black waters hide archeological treasures, having served Floridians for thousands of years. It’s also a challenging kayak & canoe trail.
