Paddle Florida has been staging paddling/camping events in the Sunshine State's best rivers and coastal environments since March, 2008. Our mission is to raise awareness about water conservation, wildlife preservation, restoration of springs and protection of waterways in Florida. We scout trips in advance, transport gear to each overnight stop, provide catered dinners and breakfasts. Every night, in addition to a campfire, is an evening program featuring presentations on the area through which we paddle. Presentations include discussions about history, ecology or issues affecting our environment. Some nights feature musical performances by terrific artists. On each trip we strive to live up to our motto: Inspiring. Meaningful. Adventure.
