The Paddling Center at Shingle Creek review in Kissimmee, Florida

The Paddling Center at Shingle Creek is a dog-friendly place to rent single kayaks, tandem kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddle boards. A trained staff is available to take guests and their dogs on a guided tour, whether it be a Two Hour Cypress Forest Guided Eco-Tour or a Manatee Encounter Tour at Blue Spring State Park. Medium-sized leashed dogs can ride along for no extra charge in a tandem kayak or canoe, and leashed puppies can come along in a one-person kayak or canoe. Tour reservations can be made online or over the phone. Reservations for rentals are preferred to ensure availability; however, walk-ups are always welcome. The rustic-themed facility also features on-site picnic tables. The Paddling Center is open seven days a week from 8am to 5pm, with last rentals out at 3pm.
