There is now an easy and economical way to support paddling and Florida's community of paddlesport enthusiasts. It's called the Florida Paddling Trails Association (FPTA).

Ad Examples With your business membership in FPTA you not only support our first rate 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, you get access to an online trail guide, email updates, quarterly newsletter, membership card and advertising space.
