FLORIDA RIVER RUNS

October 14 2024

Florida may not be known for its whitewater rapids like other states, but there are still some great spots for kayaking and rafting enthusiasts to enjoy. One popular destination is the Ocala National Forest, home to the Juniper Springs Run. This 7-mile stretch of crystal-clear water offers a serene and picturesque paddle through lush foliage and overhanging trees. The river is best enjoyed at a flow rate of around 100-150 cubic feet per second, which can be checked on the National Weather Service website.

Another must-visit spot is the Suwannee River, particularly the section between White Springs and Big Shoals State Park. This 18-mile run offers a mix of calm waters and Class I rapids, providing a fun challenge for paddlers of all levels. The best time to visit is during the spring when water levels are higher, but be sure to check the flow rate beforehand. Safety is always a top priority, so be sure to wear a life jacket, check weather conditions, and be aware of any potential hazards along the way. With its diverse landscapes and unique paddling opportunities, Florida is a hidden gem for whitewater enthusiasts looking for a new adventure.
