One product, two surfaces
The website finds the paddle. The app keeps it.
PaddlePin.com tells you where to put in and what you are getting into. PaddlePin for iPhone records the paddle you actually did — the route, the pins, the photos — as a journal of the water you have been on.
PaddlePin.com is free to use. PaddlePin for iPhone is a separate $4.99 app that records your paddles — it does not import routes from this site.
What the app adds
Quick start
Open it at the water and start recording. The app is built to get out of the way before you launch, not to plan the day for you.
GPS route, pins and photos
The route draws itself as you paddle. Drop a pin for the heron, the sandbar, the launch you want to find again, and take photos without leaving the recording.
A paddle journal
Every paddle becomes an entry: the route on a map, distance and time, your photos, notes on conditions and wildlife, and the spots worth going back to.
Where it fits in a paddle
Each surface does the half it is good at. Neither pretends to do the other.

PaddlePin.com
Launch and carry, route difficulty, hazards, what the conditions do here — and which facts are still unconfirmed.

Common questions
- Do I need the app to use PaddlePin.com?
- No. Everything on this site — the map, every location page, the guides — is free to read in any browser. The app is for the paddle itself.
- Does the app import routes from this website?
- No, not today. The website and the app share a name and a purpose, but a paddle on the app is recorded on the water, not downloaded from a page. We say this everywhere the app is linked so nobody buys it expecting otherwise.
- What does the app record?
- Your GPS route, distance and time; photos taken during the paddle; pins for spots worth remembering; and notes on conditions and wildlife. Paddles can be shared as paddle postcards and saved to Apple Health as Paddle Sports workouts.
- What does it cost?
- $4.99, once. There is no subscription and no in-app purchase.
- What about my data?
- The developer does not collect any data from this app. Your paddles live on your phone.
- Which devices does it run on?
- iPhone, iOS 17.0 or later. It works anywhere you paddle — it is not limited to the Florida locations on this site.
