Worried about gators? Click the gator above for information on gators in the wild. We have never had a problem on the Peace River. People swim and fossil hunt in the water all the time. Just be careful and look around first. Yes, it is gator mating season. Don't try to breed with one because they don't like it! Keep the gators away with "gator beads". Folks are swearing they help. Get your gator shaped Mardi Gras beads at the check-in desk.


Paddle the Peace River with Canoe Outpost and enjoy a quiet, peaceful float along Florida's most popular State Canoe Trail. The beautiful Peace River offers wildlife viewing, fishing, swimming, hiking trails, wilderness camping, fossil hunting, and of course, canoeing and kayaking. View towering cypress trees with moss beards and soaring birds, hear the rippling water, and the meaning of the true Florida becomes apparent. Be transported back to the days of the Indians and first explorers as you explore this piece of Florida from days past.
For the novice or experienced paddler, the Peace offers something for all. Wilderness half-day, full-day, and overnight camping trips from two to eight days.
