THE LAUNCH

What to know before you go

Haulover Canal is a popular paddling and fishing area near Merritt Island, with easy roadside access and a launch that works well for kayaks and paddleboards. The canal connects larger lagoon systems, so you can explore protected shoreline while still having access to broader water.

Wildlife is a major draw here. Paddlers may see birds, manatees, dolphins, and alligators depending on the season and conditions. Because the canal also sees motorboat traffic, stay visible and give larger boats room.
