Kayak Rentals

Experience kayaking the Blackwater River as a calm and immersive outdoor escape in Northwest Florida, perfect for travelers who enjoy exploring nature at their own pace. Launching from Blackwater Joe’s private riverside access, paddlers can choose from multiple river lengths while enjoying gentle currents, crystal-clear water, and inviting sandbars ideal for breaks and refreshing swims. Whether you’re gliding solo in quiet reflection or sharing a tandem kayak with a partner, this stretch of the river offers an easygoing yet rewarding adventure just minutes from Milton, Crestview, Holt, and Pensacola.

Discover a peaceful journey through one of Florida’s last untouched river systems, where winding bends lead you beneath towering pines and along soft white-sand banks. What truly sets Blackwater Joe’s apart is our northernmost kayak launch point on the river, allowing for longer, smoother floats without the hassle of carrying boats across sand. From short exploratory paddles to full-day river adventures with friends, every trip delivers unspoiled scenery, wildlife sightings, and the kind of quiet moments that keep kayakers coming back year after year.
