Ecotourism sub committee report for March 5, 2014
We had an excellent discussion with Eric Lumbart head of Paddle Board New Smyrna Beach regarding
the operation at Salty Paddle Outpost in Edgewater. The discussion reviewed his perspective of having a
late start up in August missing the majority of what he considers high season and things that he
identified as areas for improvement for this season.These included things that could be done to make
the area at the North end of Manard May park more user friendly as simple as insuring the mowing
schedule minimized the sand spur growth, signage that has been submitted for consideration to building
department as well as having a launch area roped off to avoid conflicts with fishing or boaters for new
paddlers. It was also revealed that it was their perception that Edgewater would have the same
seasonal influx as the summer season in New Smyrna with June through August being the major season.
The concept was presented to him that Edgewater could balance his New Smyrna Season because of the
number of full time residents and winter residents that could keep him busy.
Additional topics that covered included processes that have been started for the blue water trails and
the necessity of the City of Edgewater to retain control of those trails as well as the process to move
forward with becoming a Florida Blue Water Trail community.
We discussed some of the already existing ecotourism programs that are currently running in Volusia
County and how Edgewater can increase exposure and capitalize on attracting people interested in
Ecotourism to our area including County Bike maps and EchoRanger program
We have invited and plan to have Mark Porter who is the Project Administrator for the pedestrian
bridge and rails to trails to rotary park at our next meeting to give an update.
