This weekend we took part in the 3rd Annual Citrus County Parks and Recreation Expo at the Citrus Springs Community Center. It was great connecting with families, outdoor enthusiasts, and community members while learning about the many ways to connect with nature, and stay active, around Citrus County.
If you missed the fun, here is a quick recap: The expo featured a wide range of local organizations, small businesses, and conservation groups. Guests visited each exhibitor to collect passport stamps and earn prizes along the way. Participating groups included What the Fox, Art of Fire Studio, Nature Coast Lady Anglers, Captain Katie Jo, Florida Conservation Corps, Florida Forever Back Country Horsemen, Cayla’s Coats, Gulf Coast Manatee Homeschool, Always Near Home Care, World Drum Circle, Florida Paddling Trails Association, & many more.
Nature Coast Explorers Kayaking Club
Discover the hidden waterways and ecosystems of the Nature Coast. From tidal creeks and coastal marshes to freshwater springs and quiet backwaters, every group paddle is a chance to see and learn something new about our area. Our trips are open to all skill levels and designed to help you feel comfortable, confident, and excited to go kayaking in Florida.
Whether you’re new to kayaking or just love paddling with others, we make it easy to get on the water. Nature Coast Eco Tours provides the kayaks and transport them to each launch site, or you’re welcome to bring your own. Each month, four guided paddles take you to a different outstanding waterway in and around Citrus County. Our experienced local guides are passionate about sharing their in-depth knowledge of native plants, Florida wildlife, and the fascinating history that makes the Nature Coast truly special.
No memberships, no yearly fees, & no high-stress commitments. Nature Coast Eco Tours takes care of all the planning. You show up, paddle, and have fun! Use one of our premium Crescent kayaks for $50, or bring your own for $25. Kayak with us as often as you'd like, and become part of our community of paddlers exploring the wild side of Florida together.
