Pick your Florida paddle vibe

1) “I want to see everything under my board” (Springs)

• Silver Springs State Park is famous for crystal water and a wildlife bingo card that can include manatees (seasonal), birds, and more.

• Weeki Wachee River is a classic “float through old Florida” paddle with clear water and frequent wildlife sightings.

2) “I want jungle vibes” (Mangroves)

• Biscayne National Park is made for paddling along mangrove shorelines and shallow bay waters (and it’s a great “Florida-but-tropical” feel).

3) “I want Florida magic” (Bioluminescence, summer nights)

• On the Space Coast, June–October can light up with bioluminescence in places like the Mosquito Lagoon / Indian River Lagoon—every paddle stroke can sparkle.
