My son took me on a canoe trip down this beautiful river in Florida.
It was awesome. ~ Mother nature at her finest. ~ At least no aligators were seen or I might have had another opinion.. :-/
It was about seven miles that normally takes 2-1/2 hours to complete but we took our time and spent about 5 hours on the water. ~ It was 80 degrees
and sunny. ~ All the overhanging trees gave us just enough broken shade. ~ The river is spring fed with crystal clear water. ~ It was anywhere from 3 inches deep to what seemed be 15-20 feet in spots, where the
river turns and the current has dug out the sand bottom. ~ The current moves along at a pretty good pace. ~
Not *too* fast, but that spring puts out a *major* amount of water. ~ So much so you don’t really need to paddle. ~ You just need to aim the boat.
Here’s a few shots we took of the trip. ~ Get larger view by clicking the name link below each picture.
