Come join the fun with Paddle Florida , October 15-22, 2009. Up to 200 paddlers will make the 123-mile trip from the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida to beautiful Manatee Springs State Park.

Group rate! If your group or company would like to make Paddle Florida a retreat with five or more people, please click "group retreats" on the menu item to the left and take $50 off the full registration price for each paddler.

Paddle Florida is held in cooperation with the Florida Park Service and the Suwannee River Water Management District.  These two organizations, through partnerships with both the public and private sectors, have created the 171-mile Suwannee River Wilderness Trail.   The Trail is a series of cabins, river camps and private "hubs" that, taken together, make the Suwannee River accessible to paddlers, hikers, bikers, equestrian enthusiasts and other user groups.  Paddle Florida will be using some of the facilities that have been recently completed. Check out the nightly entertainment "'round the campfires" each evening.

Join us for a week of camaraderie and the thrill of paddling a Florida gem.

Paddle Florida . . . and go with the flow.
