About This Trip

• This 2-2.5 hour guided adventure includes an intermediate paddle upriver with multiple stops to local springs, a relaxing drift back to Gilchrist Blue Springs, which features a beautiful quarter mile stretch of blue clear water and vibrant vegetation. There's an opportunity to swim in the 20ft blue water swimming hole, with a relaxing float and short paddle back to the launch site (Rum Island County Park) located just across the river.
• Each tandem kayak fits 2 people
• There are three springs with deeper areas where participants can take a quick swim if they choose. Nature surrounds the clear spring water everywhere you turn.
• Be on the lookout for many different species of birds, plants, turtles, fish, otters, alligators and more!
• River water may turn tannic (darker brown) in color on occasion due to excess rains. During seasons of low rain the river will be amber see-through brown in our paddling area. Due to the uniqueness of the river and springs in the area, flood stages can affect Rum Island and Jonathan spring turning them from Blue to Brown. (If any concerns don’t hesitate to contact the front office prior to booking!) Gilchrist Blue Springs will always be clear and blue!
