Welcome to Florida’s Hidden Coast Paddlings

Come paddle Florida’s incredible Hidden Coast and explore the rivers, wild coastlines and quaint local communities along the Gulf of Mexico from Yankeetown to Steinhatchee. This area offers a wide variety of self guided paddling trails for the experienced paddler.



Please note – Paddling Florida's Gulf Coast can be much more challenging than inland paddling. You must be aware of current weather and tides. Check the links to the right for current information. Due to coastal wind, it is advised that a minimum of a 14' kayak be used on the outer trails. Canoes are not recommended. It is always advised to have a paddling buddy and leave a description of your plans with family and friends, carry the proper safety gear, and ALWAYS WEAR YOUR LIFE JACKET.
