Intracoastal Waterway, FL

Beginning at Big Lagoon State Park near Pensacola, extending around the Florida peninsula and Keys, and ending at Fort Clinch State Park near the Georgia state line in Fernandina Beach, the Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail (commonly referred to as the CT) is a 1,515-mile sea kayaking paradise. It is the country's longest designated national recreation trail.

The Florida Department of Environemental Protection and the Florida Paddling Trails Association have detailed guides and maps available on their websites and are a great resource to plan your trip. See the links below.

Special Considerations:

Paddlers need to be watchful of tides and currents, especially near river mouths. The Intracoastal Waterway can be busy with recreational boaters on weekends and holidays. The Atlantic side is considered dangerous and recommended for expert paddlers only.
