Did you know that 80 percent of Franklin County’s 545 square miles are publicly owned, preserved wilderness areas? There are more than 40 designated State Paddling Trails across the state of Florida. These interconnected trials wind their way through the Sunshine State’s rivers, lakes and along the coastal shoreline. You can float on calm pristine rivers by canoe or do a long-distance sea kayak adventure along remote coastlines. No matter what “floats your boat,” the Forgotten Coast has something for every paddler! Great news, you don’t have to take your own kayak, paddleboard or canoe. There are plenty of paddling rental businesses across Franklin County! https://www.floridasforgottencoast.com/
