What we’re about
Founded by legendary conservationist John Muir in 1892, the Sierra Club is now the nation's largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization -- with more than two million members and supporters. Our successes range from protecting millions of acres of wilderness to helping pass the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Endangered Species Act. More recently, we've made history by leading the charge to move away from the dirty fossil fuels that cause climate disruption and toward a clean energy economy.
The Volusia Flagler Sierra Club provides opportunities for local environmentally aware people to meet, engage in fun outdoor activities, learn more about our local environment through field trips and meetings, and become a vital part of environmental activism in Volusia and Flagler Counties. We live in an amazing area with springs, beaches, forests, and wildlife, all of which is fragile and requires our action to preserve. Please join us to find like minds, learn about the local area, and help us preserve the beauty of our special part of Florida.

This is a tide sensitive area, consisting largely of narrow, windy, black needle rush-lined creeks penetrating beautiful coastal wetlands. Misjudging the tides, or getting lost back in this area is the reason I've never seen another kayak back there other than trips the Sierra Club has led. It is nearly virgin territory as far as paddlers are concerned, and a rather unique experience. We launch at the Princess Place canoe launch, work our way around the main lodge built in 1886 and up into Styles Creek, crossing under the covered bridge.
Meet at the canoe launch area at 8:30 am and we will put in at 9:00.
Paddle time is about 3 hours. Bring a hat, plenty to drink and maybe a snack. This is for intermediate kayakers. Members may bring one guest.ALL WHO PLAN ON ATTENDING THIS SIERRA CLUB PADDLE EVENT MUST REGISTER WITH THE SIERRA CLUB AS WELL AND E-SIGN THE SIERRA CLUB WAIVER. IT'S EASY. GO TO:
