~Sinclair Lewis
Paddle and Path seeks stories that are informative and entertaining. A pretty simple approach we think, but who hasn't read some drivel that seems to have no goal. Well, our purpose is to produce content that engages the reader while motivating the ‘paddler within’ to grab their gear and go explore.
Paddle and Path is created by and for experienced paddlers, yet we hope to engage all those who ply the waterways of Florida. Whether you fish, camp, dive or just simply explore from your canoe or kayak, we want to hear from you. And all the better if you have original photos to include in your piece. A picture, indeed, is worth a thousand words.
Wanna pitch us an original story or suggest a unique feature? Then drop us an email!
