What we’re about
Founded by legendary conservationist John Muir in 1892, the Sierra Club is now the nation's largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization -- with more than two million members and supporters. Our successes range from protecting millions of acres of wilderness to helping pass the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Endangered Species Act. More recently, we've made history by leading the charge to move away from the dirty fossil fuels that cause climate disruption and toward a clean energy economy.
The Volusia Flagler Sierra Club provides opportunities for local environmentally aware people to meet, engage in fun outdoor activities, learn more about our local environment through field trips and meetings, and become a vital part of environmental activism in Volusia and Flagler Counties. We live in an amazing area with springs, beaches, forests, and wildlife, all of which is fragile and requires our action to preserve. Please join us to find like minds, learn about the local area, and help us preserve the beauty of our special part of Florida.

See all- Kayak Beautiful Deep CreekDeep Creek Kayak Launch, St Augustine, FL
Join me on this round trip paddle from the launch at RT 207 to Cracker Creek. Haven't been there since the storms but expect to see lots of native wildlife. Most of the trip is under an arching canopy creating dappled sunlight mixed with shade creating a spooky magical feeling of Old Florida. Great photographic opportunities! There are no facilities at the packed sand launch and once we go under the 207 bridge and the St Augustine/Palatka bike path bridge it'll seem like you're in the middle of nowhere. We'll launch at 9 so please arrive before 8:45. If you need more time setting up even earlier.

Bring all necessary kayak equipment including PFD that must be worn. Sunscreen, water, snack, hat and camera/phone. There're not many places to get out of the boat but there is a small island about 1.2 miles in.
