Key Largo is gearing up for a fun day on the water as Monroe County and the Friends of John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park team up to host Pennekamp Paddle Day on September 12.
The event invites both Florida Keys residents and visitors to mark America's 250th birthday with a uniquely Florida experience — paddling through one of the state's most beloved parks, home to the country's first undersea state park.
John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park sits at the northern end of the Florida Keys reef tract and offers kayakers and paddleboarders access to mangrove-lined waterways and crystal-clear coastal waters, making it a fitting backdrop for a patriotic outdoor celebration.
Whether you're a seasoned paddler or just looking for a relaxed way to connect with the natural beauty of the Keys, this community gathering offers a welcoming entry point to one of Florida's most iconic parks.
