Locals often say there is something magical about Lake DeFuniak—a rare, perfectly round, spring-fed lake whose natural beauty has drawn people to its shores for generations. It is a place that inspires reflection, connection, and a return to its quiet majesty time and again. Beginning this fall, the HWY 331 Paddle Club will add to that tradition, launching Saturday, Sept. 13, 2025, at 9 a.m., with weekly gatherings planned every Saturday morning thereafter. The kickoff event begins behind the historic Chautauqua Hall of Brotherhood, where participants may paddle across the calm, glassy waters of Lake DeFuniak or walk the paved path that circles the lake. Both paddling and walking are integral parts of the experience, making the club welcoming and accessible to everyone. After the launch, the HWY 331 Paddle Club will become a weekly tradition, inviting people to circle back each Saturday at 9 a.m. to enjoy fun, fitness, and friendship. Beyond the lake, members will have opportunities to share paddle adventures and organize gatherings across Walton County’s nearby springs, creeks, bay, and Gulf waters. “The HWY 331 Paddle Club is about connecting Walton County’s paddle-lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike,” said Kerri Parker, founder and organizer of the HWY 331 Paddle Club and RUNSUP certified instructor. “It is an opportunity to celebrate our natural resources, stay active, and build friendships through shared experiences on the water and trails. And where better to begin than Lake DeFuniak—one of the most unique and inspiring lakes in the world?” The HWY 331 Paddle Club is free and open to the public. It welcomes participants of all ages and skill levels, including walkers and paddlers, and even four-legged friends. Participants do not need to paddle to be part of the club, as the walk around the lake is a full part of the experience.
