The Paddling Center at Shingle Creek

More Info

General Info

Shingle Creek is headwaters of the Everglades and was recently rated one of the top paddling trails in Florida. We rent single kayaks ($13/hr), 2-person (tandem) kayaks ($16/hr), canoes ($16/hr), and stand-up paddle boards ($18/hr). 2 hour eco-tours are available that include: 1) basic paddling instruction + equipment rental + eco/historical narrative (minimum 4 persons) + water. We also have a 1 hour eco-tour on an 18ft electric Duffy boat that accommodates up to 8 passengers and is piloted by certified captain that is available every weekend and with advance notice during the week ($15/person). The rustic-themed Paddling Center facility was completed last Summer and includes adjacent hiking and biking trails. Picnic tables are onsite making this a great family or group event location with available gas grill rental ($10/hr). Our trained staff is friendly and provides new and novice paddlers the basic paddling skills to enjoy the exceptional natural beauty that is Shingle Creek. Special Programs include 4 Team Building Exercises (1.5 Hrs to 3+ hrs) and Education Program for 3rd Grade and up, with canoe paddling skill building component and 2 other Eco-Florida classes on how birds fly and predator-prey dynamics. A fun and hands-on way to learn!
