Community Paddle w/ Uncle Pappy & Dani @ Silver Springs
Come paddle through one of Florida's most legendary springs with two legendary Floridians, Uncle Pappy and Hippie Dippie Dani!
We'll float the scenic Fort King Paddle Trail, a ~1-mile loop through crystal-clear water and peaceful canopy cover.
Whether you're on a paddleboard or kayak, this is a laid-back way to soak in the springs while connecting with fellow water lovers as we unite to protect the waterways and places we love
Why is this event special?
This is part of Uncle Pappy's "Great American Water Roadtrip," an 8,000-mile drive through 30+ communities to collect and share stories about our water.
He is collecting signatures physically & virtually along the way to deliver to D.C as proof that we expect our water to be protected. Come sign his van to show your support and to enter the sweepstakes to win the van after his trip!
If you can't make it person, you can still sign virtually at unitedbynature.eco and still enter to win the prizes!
DETAILS:
We’ll be meeting by the kayak loading area at the back of the parking lot. Follow the signs to the kayak launch, and you'll see the loading area.
