Hey
You ought to look us up, the West Florida Canoe and Kayak Club. Just do an internet search for WFCKC and you'll find our website. I think you'd be surprised how many nice streams,creeks,and rivers there are to paddle within a short drive around here. Now that the nasty weather is over, we will probably be having a paddle almost every weekend.
And if you want to get an idea of whats available to paddle in the panhandle area, go to our links sections, then use that to go the the green wave forum. That covers the state of Florida and its broken up into a handful of regions.
My email is
[email protected]. Email me and I'll let you know what paddles are going on when. we prefer people join our club (its pretty cheap), but we don't mind non-members tagging along on a few trips until they get the chance to join.
And go to Jackson Guard in Niceville post haste and get yourself and your SO Eglin recreational permits (its like 11 dollars a year). There are a couple of VERY VERY nice creeks on the Eglin Military Reservation.
Oh, and our club has some of the nicest, friendliest, and most helpful people I have ever meet.
Come out and paddle with us. We will help you scratch that boat up all proper and like.
