Let us forget about the concrete that makes up our large cities, let us set aside the paved paths to our homes and favorite attractions and PADDLE the PEACE.

The Peace River was once home to Native Americans and very early explorers of Florida. Paddle along and get the feel for why these settlers wanted to call the banks for the Peace River home. Enjoy and take in the view of the River’s resident cypress trees, wading birds, alligators and more. Look up, look down, look all around – this is a trip you will not want to miss out on. Visit the REAL FLORIDA. This trip will be guided and kayaks will be provided.
