The Nature Coast Ramblers has a hike, bike and kayak event each month with adjustments for holidays, special events and occasionally weather.
Typically we have a paddle the first week of the month, a bike during the 2nd week of the month, and a hike during the 3rd week of the month. The fourth week of the month may be utilized for make-up dates due to the weather or other special events that occur from time to time. The day of the week an event occurs on will be determined by the individual who has volunteered to lead the event. We'll be posting further details as they become available.
For details on "save the dates", reminders, and coming events in the next month, see the "Coming Events" tab of our website.
Below is a calendar of events and dates in 2025/2026 for which we still need leaders. We are looking for more members to volunteer as event leaders for hiking, bicycling, and paddling events.
Many Ramblers have stepped up repeatedly to lead, but we need additional help. If you have not led one of our events, would you consider doing so? Preparation doesn’t involve much. The Coordinators and other leaders will help you get started. Please reach out to the Coordinators to discuss any questions or concerns you may have. Below is a list of events that have been done in the past and that you may want to consider leading or co-leading sometime this season. Also below is a list of Boat Launch Sites for your immediate reference.
The Nature Coast Ramblers will begin their fall activities in September 2026.
The calendar is posted on the website and Facebook; emails are also sent to members prior to the events.
