To help people join in celebrating Flagler County’s 100th birthday, Flagler County Centennial Committee has organized two kayak paddles, one on Haw Creek and another on the water route from Longs Landing Palm Coast City Park, to Bings Landing County Park.
“Both are challenging routes for kayakers,” said John Dalton, a member of the Centennial Committee. “On the Haw Creek Paddle you’ll spend a couple hours on the water and not see a house or anything other than the beautiful scenery and wildlife that the early settlers of Flagler County saw.”
The Haw Creek paddle is scheduled for launch at 9 a.m. Saturday March 4, from Russell Landing County Park. Registrations are needed in advance and registrations for the trip close on Feb. 20. The registration is $15 and each person registering will get a competition style T-shirt commemorating the County’s Centennial.
When kayakers arrive at Bull Creek Park, lunch will be available for $11. For more, visit flaglercounty.org or facebook.com/flaglercountycentennial. Email [email protected].
The second trip is planned for a 9 a.m. launch Saturday, April 22, from Longs Landing City Park and will include a brief presentation by a city park representative on the history of the park.
Lunch at Captain’s Barbecue will $11. The $15 registration fee includes a competition tee shirt commemorating the centennial.
At Bings Landing a presentation of the Hernandez Plantation and its place in history of the area will follow. Register by March 20.
