About Us... Paddle Florida®

Peace, Love, Paddle

This website is produced by "Mudfish" and "Bobcat," Florida residents and avid recreational kayakers and hobbyists. The site contains first-hand reports on over 100 of Florida's top kayaking and canoeing destinations, with Google map links (no sign-ins, no pop-ups) and 1000's of photos.

• This website is for information and advocacy. No sign-ins, no pop-ups, and a 100% privacy policy.
• We are hobbyists. We do not conduct tours. We do not sell or rent equipment. We do no charitable fundraising.
• A small portion of expenses are offset by revenue from third-party ad placements. More below.

Paddling destinations are organized into 6 Florida Regions, each with a Regional Overview Map. This allows you to quickly explore more paddling opportunities near you. You can also find paddling destinations listed alphabetically (Find A-Z).

We are delighted to provide no obligation business listings to the following: (*1) for-profit paddling outfitters, rentals and tour operators, (*2) registered non-profit advocacy groups, and (*3) relevant Federal, State, and Local agencies. If you qualify (**no exceptions please**), send us your details: mail@PaddleFlorida.net. We now provide over 200 listings for small businesses and organizations advocating for clean Florida waters.

Third Party Ad Placements...

We keep it simple. This website has always been and will always be a hobby. We neither solicit, nor accept donations. The only revenue generated is from third party (Google) ad placements. Being a hobby, taxes are paid on all revenue. Expenses are not deductible. We estimate that net ad revenue offsets about 10% of expenses (mostly travel related). We don't use professional web designers. We spend nothing on advertising. Nevertheless as simple citizens documenting our quest, we take pride in the size and scope of our readership. Thank you site visitors. Please come back often.

100% Privacy Policy...

Browse here with complete peace of mind, as our privacy policy is among the toughest anywhere. It's simple - we do not collect information (no sign-ins, no subscriptions) and thus, we do not sell or rent information to anyone.

As is common on the Internet today, our web hosting company automatically keeps track of visitors' browser versions, referral sites, and statistics on page visits. However, we do not elect any added service which collects personal information, such as e-mail addresses.

No spyware here guaranteed. We are dedicated to making your time here with us as private, easy, and secure as possible. For the convenience of our site visitors, we provide links to outfitters, tours, State Parks, and other non-affiliated websites. When following outside links, please see the privacy policy of those sites.
