Paddleheads since 1993, the SW Florida Paddling Club is a group of friends who enjoy paddling together. We meet monthly and discuss trips (recent and future), listen to local speakers on paddling related topics and to socialize. A sub-group focused on fishin can be found at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SWFLPCKFG
and a sub-group focused on kayak camping can found at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MangroveNavy
We recommend you join this main group when joining either of the sub-groups so you don't miss information of interest to the general membership.
Thanks to Jeanette Chupack for the use of her award winning painting of three of our members paddling Prairie Creek named "Sparkling Waters". Check out her award at the American Artist web site:
