Class I Tomoka River, FL

Tomoka River Paddling Trail

The Tomoka River is generally suitable for beginners. River access is very limited considering its length and proximity to populated areas. Three areas, the SR 40 Bridge, Riverbend Nature Park, and the US 1 Bridge, no longer provide access to the river. Winds and tidal influence become stronger as the river widens and nears Tomoka State Park, so plan trips accordingly. Boat traffic on this river can be heavy during holidays and weekends. Paddlers can launch from Tomoka State Park or the Tomoka Boat Ramp for a round trip in either direction. It is about 13 miles upstream from the state park to the end of the river. - FDEP
