Kayaking is right up there alongside surfing and boating on St. Augustine’s list of favorite outdoor activities. There are plenty of places to rent kayaks and canoes (and paddleboards, too, if that’s more your speed) – but if you’ve got kayaks and canoes of your own, you might be wondering where in St. Johns County you can set off on your own adventure. From state parks to the Intracoastal, there are plenty of canoe and kayak launch sites in St. Johns County. You can glide through the waters of Salt Run or explore the ecosystems of the St. Johns River. From way down all Faver-Dykes all the way up to the GTM Reserve, the water is at your fingertips with these St. Johns County canoe and kayak launch sites.
