Top 5 Natural Wonders for Canoers & Kayakers

A

s a destination with more than 600 lakes, rivers and springs, it is no wonder that Ocala/Marion County is the perfect place to enjoy a day on the water!

RAINBOW RIVER

Anchored by the stunning natural landmark of Rainbow Springs State Park, the Rainbow River in Dunnellon is a family-friendly river shimmering with silver and turquoise hues, surrounded by towering palm trees, ferns, gardens, and waterfalls. The river maintains a cool 72-degree temperature year-round, perfect for a refresh from those balmy Florida days. It’s the perfect place to enjoy swimming, snorkeling, tubing, canoeing, kayaking, and paddleboarding.

SILVER RIVER

Silver River is fed directly by Silver Springs, which is the largest natural artesian spring in the world, producing 550 million gallons of water per day. Located in Silver Springs State Park, the river itself allows kayakers, canoers, and paddle boarders to experience a natural forest surrounded by some of the state’s best-managed sandhills. Here, the clear waters and lush subtropical vegetation make this one of the most scenic rivers in Florida. Wildlife abounds at the river with manatees, turtles, otters, ospreys, anhingas, and more all seen along the banks. Silver Springs State Park is the best access point for the Silver River, as it is home to a variety of amenities for boaters including canoe and kayak launches, paddling, rentals, shower stations, restrooms, and more.

JUNIPER RUN

Juniper Run is ideal for more experienced paddlers seeking a true aquatic adventure. This natural flowing spring is one of the top canoe runs in America, set under a dense canopy of old-growth forest.

At about 7 miles long, the run provides an exciting and challenging day on the water. The first 1.5 miles are beautiful – swift, narrow and winding, with crystal clear, shallow waters. The middle section alternates between wider, deeper water and narrower runs, including a short rapid. At the bottom, it expands into impressive wetlands before arriving at Juniper Wayside. The entire trip can take anywhere from 4-5 hours. A variety of wildlife can be spotted along the banks including deer, otters, raccoons, alligators, birds, and black bears.

Our tip: arrive early as the run can get very crowded, especially on the weekends. The Juniper Springs Recreation Area boasts picnic tables, toilets, drinking water and parking.

SILVER GLEN SPRINGS

The Silver Glen Springs recreation area features a beautiful freshwater spring run and an important archaeological site, letting you experience the wild natural landscape with a taste of significan Florida history. Perched on the border of the Ocala National Forest’s Big Scrub, the sparkling clear waters remain a refreshing 72°F year-round. You can enjoy kayaking and canoeing as well as swimming and snorkeling in the tranquil spring, and the surrounding recreation area offers amenities such as drinking water, portable toilets, picnic tables and parking.

Ocala Marion County continued

Glen Springs receives a high volume of visitors and life jackets or flot tion devices are highly recommended for less experienced swimmers. Boats are not allowed in the swimming and snorkeling area.

SALT SPRINGS

Salt Springs is another popular spring located in the lush, semi-tropical landscape of the Ocala National Forest. This recreational jewel is named after the naturally occurring minerals that rise to the surface from deep natural fissu es in the earth, providing a slight salinity not found in other nearby springs. Boats and canoes can be rented at the Salt Springs Marina, or guests with their own canoes and boats can launch using the Marina’s ramp or the gravel ramp located at the back of the recreation area’s campground. The regulations of the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission apply to freshwater boating and fishing along the Salt Springs Run. In addition to boating and fishing be sure to take a dip in the glittering blue-green waters of the Salt Springs basin within clearly marked areas.

Getaway on edge of National Forest Well kept 3 Bedroom 1 Bath manufactured home w/screened porch. Community access to Little and Big Lake Kerr | $74,900
