Description

Make a day of it with a paddle through the Dora Canal and a waterfront lunch at Fish Camp on Lake Eustis. A little nature, good food, and time to enjoy both! Your self-guided journey begins at Adventure Outdoor Paddle on Lake Dora, where you’ll launch your kayak or paddleboard and follow the shoreline to the Dora Canal. Paddle beneath towering cypress trees, watch for wildlife, and soak up the Old Florida scenery before continuing onto Lake Eustis to dock at Fish Camp. Settle in for a casual lakeside lunch with waterfront views. As a special perk, Paddle, Dock & Dine guests receive 10% off their entire tab at Fish Camp on Lake Eustis. After lunch, enjoy the scenery from a new direction as you paddle back through the canal to our launch on Lake Dora. This 5-hour rental includes an extra hour beyond our standard 4-hour rental, giving you time to explore, stop for photos, and enjoy your meal without rushing.

Why take this tour?

A paddle through the Dora Canal with a stop for lunch? That’s our kind of day!

You’ll head out from our launch on Lake Dora and follow the shoreline to the canal, where big cypress trees and Spanish moss shade the way. Take your time looking for turtles on logs and birds fishing along the banks. There’s always something that makes us stop and take a closer look, even after all the times we’ve paddled here.

From there, continue onto Lake Eustis and pull up to Fish Camp for lunch. Grab a seat on the covered deck, order something good, and enjoy being out on the water with nowhere else you need to be for a while. Our Paddle, Dock & Dine guests get 10% off their entire tab, too!

We’ve made this a five hour rental so you have extra time to enjoy the paddle, stop for lunch, and make your way back through the canal without watching the clock the whole time. Bring a friend, bring your appetite, and we’ll help you get out on the water!

This guest-favorite adventure books quickly - don't wait to reserve your unforgettable escape!

I rented a kayak for the brunch package at Fish Camp restaurant. Not disappointed! Despite the potential for rain and wind, I got early. Katrina was amazing and very helpful before and during the tour. She made sure to help get me out of the very windy weather before I got stuck …
