Paddling
Relax as you paddle the swift, winding water of Juniper Creek Run. As you glide in and out of the shade trees, observe the lives of turtle, otter, deer and alligator. Then take a leisurely swim in crisp, cool river water. Experience the real Florida.
In the vertically challenged state of Florida, we escape to the rivers and coasts. Florida offers endless opportunities for canoeing and kayaking. TRiP leads outings including afternoon paddles down Juniper Creek Run, overnight trips to the Suwannee River, weekend excursions in the Everglades' 10,000 Islands and sea kayaking in the panhandle.
Paddling trips are a popular because they are low impact and usually do not require experience. Since these trips are local, they tend to be shorter and more affordable than some of our other options.
In addition to the items on the participant checklist, paddlers should bring:- A bathing suit
- Sandals
