About us
The River Connection Paddler group is for kayakers looking for greater performance (and fun) from their time on the water.
Outings can be Instruction/Performance related or casual getaways. The tenor is dictated by the group dynamics.
The River Connection is equipped by our year round retail store The River Connection, Inc. carrying P&H, Valley, North Shore and Venture kayaks, paddles by Werner, Mitchell and Saltwood, gear and garb by Kokatat, Astral Designs, Stohlquist, Thule, Marco Kayak Saddles.
The River Connection programs are most often launched from our own private Boathouse/Harbor at 30 River Road, Hyde Park, NY at the Hyde Park Landing. This is where we house our Fleet of Demo/Instructional Kayaks and equipment. We also feature other programs elsewhere on the Hudson River as well as the Long Island Sound.

The FPTA was formed in 2007 to serve as a resource and advocate for Florida paddlers. We are stewards of the Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail (CT) and the rest of our State's beautiful paddling waterways. Our annual PaddleFest is a way that we offer for our paddlers to come together to celebrate all the great paddling that we have in our state as well as to celebrate those who have completed the CT and to provide information to those who are interested in learning more about it.
