Loved, loved, loved paddleboarding these chain of lakes with their beautiful venetian canals that connect each lake. Also so fun to see all the amazing homes along the shore! Super peaceful and absolutely stunningly beautiful. So glad we drove inland from Ormond/Daytona beach one day to do this. Dinky dock is where all the websites tell you to psrk but it has very little parking so try Fort Matiland park if it's full. So much more parking and a good bathroom there. We paddled from Fort Maitland to Dinky Dock and had planned to paddle back but in the end it was just as easy to deflate our boards and uber back to the car. You MUST have a life jacket available for each person and a whistle! However Dinky dock has a guy that rents out kayaks amd life jackets if you dont have your own.
