Jacksonville now has three adaptive kayak launch locations:

1) Bethesda Park - 10790 Key Haven Boulevard, Jacksonville, FL 32218,

2) Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park - 500 Wonderwood Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32233 and

3) Southbank Riverwalk - 1001 Museum Circle, Jacksonville, FL 32207. 

Due to strong currents in the river downtown, Southbank Riverwalk is only recommended for experienced and strong paddlers

The fourth adaptive kayak launch location is planned for Mandarin Park at a later date.

The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department strive to provide outdoor activities for everyone. We hope you or someone you know can enjoy these adaptive kayak launch pads.

Stay safe and have some fun!
