Our Mission
Family-Owned. Veteran-Owned. Adventure-Focused.
We're the Shackelfords - Gage, Annie, and our two kiddos, Raelynn and Gabriel! We're the family behind Backwoods Tours and the proud new owners of Eaton's Beach Aquatic Sports!
What started with our love for boating, fishing, and exploring Florida's beautiful waterways has grown into something even bigger. From private guided adventures to fun-filled lake days at Eaton's Beach, we're excited to offer even more ways for families to get outside, unplug, and make memories together.
As a veteran-owned, family-run business, we take pride in providing unforgettable experiences, treating our guests like family, and sharing our love for the water with our community.
We've Expanded to Eaton's Beach!
Our Backwoods Tours family now owns Eaton's Beach Aquatic Sports! Join us on Lake Weir for pontoon rentals, guided sunset cruises, kayaks, paddle boards, and beach-day fun. Same family, even more adventure!
