🛶 Beginner-Friendly Kayak Day at Beautiful Trout Creek
( experienced kayaks welcome to come help teach or share your boat)
This event is designed especially for new or newer kayakers who would like a relaxed, supportive introduction to kayaking in a calm and scenic setting.

We’ll be launching from Trout Creek Marina, which offers a very calm waterway, making it an ideal place to learn and build confidence on the water. The marina itself is beautiful and has restrooms and a small store on site for convenience.

I currently have five kayaks all different types that you can get a feel for ones that you might like yourself in the future . Ill provide all tge paddles and safety equipment needed and we’ll be sharing these kayaks on site so everyone gets a chance to paddle and learn. During our time on the water, we’ll go over the basics, including:
• How to safely get in and out of a kayak
• Proper paddling and steering techniques
• General kayak comfort, balance, and confidence tips

We’ll paddle at an easy pace and take time to enjoy the natural surroundings and peaceful scenery along the creek. This is not a race or a workout — it’s about learning, relaxing, and having fun.

If interest is strong, I may coordinate with more experienced kayakers who have extra kayaks, which could allow us to increase the number of participants.

After paddling, some of us may head a few miles down the road for lunch at a local barbecue spot that’s known for having some of the best BBQ in Northeast Florida. This part is optional, but it’s a great way to wrap up the day.
