N. FL Paddlers
Founded in 2007, the N. FL Paddlers is an active group of kayakers who meet a few times a month to paddle and dine, September through June. The club's intent is to keep membership dues low and paddle consistently. The club's favorite paddling spots include Black Creek, Salt Springs, Rainbow Springs and St. Mary's. They are open to new members of varying ability levels and tend to focus on day trips in freshwater river and wooded settings. Since they launch in remote areas, club members must have their own equipment.
