Overview
Discover why the Dora Canal has been called "the most beautiful mile of waterway in the world." This enchanting waterway is lined with century old cypress trees majestically draped in Spanish moss. The canal is home to countless herons, egrets, cormorants, anhinga, osprey, fish, turtles, and otters.
After your paddle, we invite you to experience the small-town charm of Tavares and its many local restaurants and bars within walking distance of our location.
