Welcome to the Yellow Fly Paddle Challenge!

The YFPC is the longest single-day marathon canoe/kayak race in the Southeast, comprising the entire Lower Ochlockonee Paddling Trail from Lake Talquin to Ochlockonee River State Park. Join us for this 59-mile adventure through the heart of the Apalachicola National Forest. Dinner, snazzy race medals, and awards await you at the finish. (YFPC registration covers park admittance.)

Don't have a boat? Checkpoint deadlines have you worried?
Consider renting a touring kayak from The Wilderness Way.
(50% rental discount for event participants)

Not ready for a full 59-mile race?
Assemble a team and sign up for the Relay class!

Entry fees benefit Keep Tallahassee - Leon County Beautiful.

Please browse the site for more information.
We look forward to seeing you on June 19th!
