Hey Paddlers!
By way of introduction, The Florida Paddling Trails Association is, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed in 2007 under the guidance of the Department of Environmental Protection’s Office of Greenways & Trails to be the steward for the 1,515-mile Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail that surrounds the state. In 2009, that stewardship was expanded to all of Florida’s water trails.
We are a statewide community of paddlers, clubs, outfitters, and other supporters who share a passion for exploring Florida’s scenic waterways via canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards.
This is our announcement of the PaddleFest 2025 event that will be held this year at beautiful Tomoka State Park.

Hey Y’all,
It’s not too late to register for our event! Link below.
On tap for this years event you can expect:
- Excellent paddling
- A “who’s who, and who may be new to you”, list of sponsors - and they are all sharing (and some giving away) cool new products and services.
- Above average food (It’s hard to please everyone y’all ! )
- Better than average paddling company. We’ve had to temper this expectation a bit due to the high bar set for, and by, paddling peeps. But rest assured, we will have a lot of cool people to meet and paddle with!
The Florida Paddling Trails Association’s yearly Paddlefest event moves around the state and showcases some of the best paddling in Florida. Come be a part of it!

One of the best annual gatherings of dedicated paddlers, volunteers and business owners that all believe in the importance of protecting, enjoying and improving Florida’s large variety of paddling waterways.
This event moves around every year to a different part of Florida. This year we feature our Treasure Coast (eastern central Florida) at Tomoka State Park adjacent to Ormond and Daytona Beach.
Join the FPTA to support our volunteer efforts to maintain the CT and waterways as well as fund annual grants to develop our youth by supporting summer paddling camps.
Hope to see you on April 15-18th!
