Once only a dream, The Florida Circumnavigation Paddling Trail is now a reality. Still in its infancy, campsite and paddling community resources along the trail are being developed by volunteer Trail Keepers. The trail is organized into various sections and is sure to become one of the premier paddling destinations in the United States.
Locals and visitors alike may enjoy various ecological habitats extending from Big Lagoon State Park near Pensacola, down the west coast, around the Keys, and up the east coast to Fort Clinch State Park, located on the St. Mary's River and the border with Georgia. The entire length of the trail is 1,550 miles, not including any side trips that lure paddlers from the trail itself.
Visit the Florida Paddling Trail Association's website which has information on Trail campsites, launches, sights to see and facilities along the trail.
GITTO Gear offers online rental gear specialized for kayak camping. If you are new to camping or if you want to take one of your friends along on a segment of this trail, we have the gear that you need. Check out our Kayak Adventure Series or our complete kayak camping packages.
GITTO is also a proud to announce that we are one of the Trail Keepers for Segment 25 in Jacksonville, Florida. We are currently working on developing, sponsoring and constructing primitive campsites along the trail! In 2009 we will begin to host overnight kayak campouts through our GITTO Events department.
