Canoe Rentals in Northwest Florida

Renting a canoe at Blackwater Joe’s is one of the top outdoor adventures in Northwest Florida. Launch from our private riverside property in Milton, Florida, and enjoy a peaceful float along the calm waters of the Blackwater River, surrounded by towering pines and sugar-white sandbars.

Whether you're a first-time paddler or a seasoned explorer, our canoe trips offer a refreshing way to connect with nature — just a short drive from Crestview, Holt, and Pensacola.

Your Adventure Awaits

Canoeing the Blackwater River is more than just a float — it’s a journey through one of Florida’s last untouched river systems. With tea-colored waters, shaded bends, and sugar-white sandbars, this peaceful river winds through miles of protected pine forest in Blackwater River State Forest.

What makes Blackwater Joe’s different? We’re proud to have the northernmost canoe access point on the river — giving you more time on the water, less walking, and a truly immersive outdoor experience. Our private launch site is designed for easy loading and stress-free shuttles, so you can focus on what matters most: the ride.

Whether you're gliding silently past herons, relaxing with your family, or making stops at sandbars for a snack and swim, you’ll quickly understand why paddlers return here year after year.
