Water Safety
A life jacket and an "audible signaling device" (a.k.a. whistle) are required for kayaking, canoeing, and standup paddleboarding (SUP). Please wear it..... We don't want you to become a statistic!!! For more information on boating requirements click on the picture or visit our GEAR page.
The Bullfrog Creek Experience
The perfect place for a paddling adventure on the water!
Experience some of Florida’s amazing wildlife like manatees, dolphins,
rays, fish, & birds as you wind down the creek...
Be immersed in the mangroves and estuaries that transition you
from Bullfrog Creek and into Tampa Bay!
Watch out for the local crab pots marked by the floating balls & make sure you keep your eyes focused on the horizon to see the movement in the water and locate the different underwater creatures.
Feeling more adventurous?
Paddle upstream Bullfrog Creek and experience the majesty of Old Florida.
Surrounded by oaks & Spanish moss swaying in the breezes you might even catch a glimpse of a gator!
Wanna fish?!
Fishing from a kayak gives you a unique advantage over other
fishermen who use motors to get around.
Grab your essentials inside the General Store & Market or bring your own!
Keep Smiling & Paddle On Ya’ll!

Weather Conditions Policy
We want to make your trip as enjoyable and safe as possible. Therefore we have the following weather guidelines in place:
-
If the wind is 15 mph or over, we may not send you out on the water depending on wind direction and conditions. This is both for your safety, and to ensure you have the best paddling experience!
-
You are more than welcome to paddle in the rain, but we will not put rentals on the water within 30 minutes of thunder or lightening.
*General Store & Market management and employees reserve the right to refuse to rent to any individual whom they feel is not dressed safely for the conditions.
