Kayak/Canoe Launch

Florida

About

Kayak/Canoe Launch is a paddle-craft launch in Florida, about 1.4 miles from St. James City. As the name says, it serves kayaks and canoes, giving paddlers a place to put in close to town. The most comfortable stretch for getting on the water runs from about November through April. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 75°F with lows near 54°F, and only about five or six wet days a month in that season. That compares with highs in the low 90s and 15 to 18 wet days a month from June through September. Two hiking options lie within easy driving distance for a land-based outing: Indigo Trail is about 6.9 miles away, and Veterans Trail about 8.7 miles.
