St. Sebastian River Paddle Fest

Dale Wimbrow Park, 11805 Roseland Rd., Sebastian
The Friends of St. Sebastian River is hosting the third annual Paddle Fest on the South Prong of the St. Sebastian River on Saturday, May 4th. The event is a fundraiser for our organization and includes prizes, a photo contest, and a sandwich box lunch from Publix, including a drink. Please bring whatever other drinks you wish to have along for the trip and we will have a cooler with water available to refill at Dale Wimbrow Park.
Join us for a paddle down one of Florida’s most scenic rivers, right here in our own backyard! Canoes, kayaks and paddleboards are welcome, and kayak rentals are available from About Kayaks, if desired. Please check in at Sebastian Canoe Launch, 9800 Canoe Launch Cove, off Watervliet Street, starting at 9am. From there, enjoy a leisurely paddle downstream to Dale Wimbrow Park where lunch will await your arrival, beginning at 12:30pm. Transportation will be provided back to your car from Dale Wimbrow Park.
Bring your camera to participate in the photo contest, as well. The prize for the winning photo, as chosen by the FSSR Board of Directors, is a pair of Costa Del Mar Mainsail Blue Mirror Sunglasses, plus other Costa-branded items. In addition, your photo will be featured on our Facebook page and in our May newsletter. Please email any photos to us at [email protected]. Submission deadline is Thursday, May 9th.
The entry fee is $35/person with your own paddle craft, which includes the box lunch and a one-year FSSR membership. www.fssr.org
