What To Expect
An unforgettable paddleboarding experience awaits as you take to the water to discover a side of Winter Park you never knew existed. Tucked peacefully into the heart of the city, the Winter Park Chain of Lakes is an urban oasis just waiting to be explored.
We have two options: our DAY TOURS and our SUNSET TOUR. Explore vast, sparkling lakes lined with historical mansions and quaint canals, known for their old-world charm and lush canopy above. This urban oasis is the perfect paddle adventure that will immerse you in the sights and sounds of the natural side of Winter Park.
We often see an array of birds on this adventure, such as anhinga, osprey, bald eagle, red-shouldered hawk, limpkin, and wood duck, just to name a few. It's also possible to see turtles, river otters, an array of fish, marsh rabbits hopping along the manicured lawns, and maybe even an alligator along the way.
