November is Florida Paddlesports Month and you can celebrate by paddling a few of the more than 4,000 miles of designated paddling trails throughout the state.

 

Annually, an estimated 13.5 million residents and visitors enjoy paddlesports in Florida.

 

Florida is home to 67 state designated paddling trails, coordinated by the Florida Park Service's Office of Greenways and Trails including the Apalachicola Paddling Trail System.

 

The Apalachicola Paddling Trail System has been designated by the Secretary of the Interior as a National Recreation Trail.

 

The system of paddling trails was developed by the Florida fish and Wildlife Commission’s Office of Recreation Services.

 

It features approximately 100 miles of scenic waterways accessible to boaters, canoeists and kayakers with all levels of experience. 

 

The shortest trails are 2 miles long, while others are 4 to 16 miles and offer half- or full-day paddling trips.
