Interactive Map Updated

This is just a quick note to announce that the interactive map for the SE Coast Saltwater Paddling Trail has been updated. We have updated/corrected a few issues with the trail and access points that some folks have contacted us about. Please continue to do so if you encounter any changes or have knowledge of such. It helps us make the trail even better and stay up to date.

Also,  the NOAA navigational charts have been added back into the trail map. They were removed last summer because of some issues on NOAA’s end. They are accessible again now by clicking the “Layers” menu on the top on the map and checking the box on/off as desired. Again, this information should be used for planning only so if you are heading out on the trail, please consult printed navigational charts as needed.
