paddling

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 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.
