Summer Solstice Sunset Paddle at Upper Tampa Conservation Park
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 06/21/2026
Join us to celebrate the longest day of the year with a relaxing sunset paddle at Upper Tampa Bay Conservation Park. We'll paddle out along Double Branch Creek to the shallow tidal flats of Old Tampa Bay and watch the sun set over the water and skyline. As we float across the flats, it's not uncommon to catch glimpses of dolphins, stingrays, and manatees swimming by in the shallow water. After the sun disappears, we'll follow Double Branch Creek back to the park.
