Mount Dora & Tavares Activities

Embark on an unforgettable journey with Adventure Outdoor Paddle through the enchanting Dora Canal, often dubbed "the most beautiful mile of waterway in the world." As you glide along the serene waters, the century-old cypress trees, draped in Spanish moss, create a mesmerizing canopy that filters the warm Florida sun. The sights of herons and egrets gracefully fishing along the banks, the gentle caress of a warm breeze, and the rhythmic paddle strokes of your kayak or paddle board will transport you to a world where time slows down. You'll not only discover the rich history of the canal dating back to the 1800s but also uncover a connection with the natural world. Get ready to make memories that are as vivid as the canal itself and let the wonder of this experience ignite your soul.
