Paddle the Peace River with Canoe Outpost and enjoy a quiet, peaceful float along Florida's most popular State Paddle 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. Close to the center of the State, Canoe Outpost-Peace River, 2 miles west of Arcadia, is just a short drive from Orlando, Tampa, the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area, Naples, Sarasota, Bradenton, and Ft. Myers Beach & Sanibel. Come find a little peace and become a Peace Paddler!

Kid Friendly: Kids, 12 and under, as extra persons in canoe are free.
Family Friendly: Got kids? See above and you can put 2-3 little ones in the middle on the day runs. On overnight runs it gets a little crowded but do the shorter overnight runs and have your camping gear delivered to a reserved camping spot at Oak Hill so you have plenty of room in the middle for all the kiddos even the family dog!
