Fort Lauderdale Kayaking & Bike Rentals at The Grove

Located within the natural expanse of Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, The Grove presents a blend of water and land activities that spotlight Fort Lauderdale’s vibrant outdoor scene. Situated just minutes from the Atlantic coastline, The Grove steps beyond traditional beach outings, offering visitors access to both tranquil waterways and lush shaded bike trails within the park’s unique urban wilderness setting.

The Grove’s bike rentals—available in one- or two-hour increments—invite riders of all skill levels to navigate the flat, sandy trails lined with tall palms and native hardwoods. Cyclists can breeze alongside the park's lagoons or opt for a quiet spin through shaded stretches, soaking in the contrast between cityscape and wild preserve. For those who prefer water-bound adventures, The Grove rents kayaks and paddlecraft by the hour, providing a front-row seat to the calm Intracoastal waterways and mangrove fringes.

Signature guided tours like the sunset and full moon kayak trips elevate the experience, transforming ordinary paddling into a peaceful journey colored by changing sky hues and nocturnal sounds. The bioluminescent waters and the buzz of night-active wildlife add an unexpected layer to these excursions, making them notable highlights of the local outdoor offerings.

Beyond rentals, beach chair and umbrella services complement a full day at the park’s shoreline access, offering a practical way to relax after physical activity. The Grove distinguishes itself by combining easy access from bustling Fort Lauderdale with the escape of forested trails and quiet water passages, making it a versatile hub for outdoor recreation in South Florida. Whether rolling along shaded bike paths or paddling under moonlit skies, visitors find a refreshing balance between adventure and relaxation mere steps from the city.
