A note for your ride: The Deer Lake multi-use path closed November 2 for repairs. No reopening date was published when checked November 6. These outings stay west of the closure. Check the county update ↗

Before you paddle

Wear a properly fitted life jacket, check wind and weather, and keep a safe distance from boats. Dune-lake salinity and outlet conditions vary. A lake launch is not a recommendation to enter the Gulf. Check posted access rules and current conditions.

Stay for
one more song.
