Mark your calendars to meet an elite group of paddlers at the first annual Circumnavigation Trail (CT) Paddlers’ Reunion at Silver Springs State Park in Ocala, Florida, Saturday 4 p.m., May 17, 2014. Following a CT alumni-only paddle on the Silver River, there will be a forum for the public to share stunning photography and tall tales that highlight this outstanding 1,515-mile coastal paddling trail.
Beginning at Big Lagoon State Park near Alabama, the CT embraces Florida’s coastline and meanders through the Keys, ending at Ft. Clinch State Park near Georgia. Have you ever considered paddling a short segment of the CT or want to learn more about this unique long-distance trail opportunity? This is your chance to learn from the pros and plan your own adventure; either a weekend exploration or tackle it over a period of months for an unforgettable lifetime experience. The paddlers who accept the challenges of the Circumnavigation Trail are one-of-a kind adventurers with stories you won’t want to miss!
