I think most of my best paddling trip memories are from moments that happened outside of the canoe or kayak. Those lunch or snack breaks on sandbars, or cooling off with a quick swim. Maybe we headed into the woods in search of a spring. We enjoy our north Florida rivers because they\u2019re wild and mostly uncluttered of human structures. We call them scenic, and it\u2019s fun to enter that scenery and explore. So when we were picking a section of the Chipola River to paddle, Doug Alderson<\/a> and I turned our minds to where we\u2019d break from kayaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the Apalachicola or Suwannee, there aren\u2019t numerous sand bars to stop and picnic. Instead, we had a cave and a side trip up a spring run to break up our trip. The cave excursion alone makes it unlike most any paddling trip on a Florida river; a truly memorable river adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
