SHEARWATER UNVEILS NEW WATERFRONT AMENITY WITH ACCESS TO TROUT CREEK

Neighborhood Kayak Launch to bring residents even closer to the outdoors

​Shearwater, the new master-planned residential community on County Road 210, officially opened its newest amenity, the Kayak Launch and Outpost. The new waterfront amenity will provide residents with easy access to a variety of recreational activities along Trout Creek, which connects to the St. Johns River.

“At Shearwater, we’re committed to connecting our residents to nature and promoting healthy living through world-class amenities and unique lifestyle programming,” said Suzanne Maddalon, Senior Vice President, Marketing for Freehold Communities. “We are thrilled to open the Kayak Launch and Outpost, which takes advantage of Florida’s natural beauty while providing exciting opportunities for our residents to spend time outdoors with their families and neighbors.” 

Close to the Kayak Launch is the new Outpost featuring a wraparound porch with a screened-in, open-air gathering space and a 30' stone fireplace. Adjacent to the Outpost is a large playground area with Kompan® Swings, an embankment slide and double zip line. The Outpost is the perfect outdoor oasis for families and neighbors to get together after a fun day on the water. 

The new Kayak Launch and Outpost is the latest example of Shearwater’s mission to provide residents with a vibrant neighborhood focused on healthy living, community engagement and a connection to the outdoors. The Kayak Launch joins Shearwater’s robust system of amenities including 15 miles of nature trails that run throughout the community, the Kayak Club amenity center, oversized fitness lodge, The Perch Waterslide Tower, Lazy Bird River, illuminated Har-Tru tennis courts and KOMPAN free-range playgrounds. 

Shearwater is located at 100 Kayak Way, St. Augustine, FL 32092. To learn more about Shearwater, please visit www.shearwaterliving.com.
