    Brought back nice memories. We used to start at the bottom and go upriver up to the springs and back. About 5 hours trip. Amazing place!

    I love your videos of the FL springs. Your Rainbow Springs video inspired us to start visiting them. So far we've camped at Rainbow, Wekiwa, and Silver Springs...and had a day trip to Ponce De Leon Springs State Park. Florida really has a great resource with its springs and state parks.

    • @CampTravelExplore

    Can you take your time going down the river? Do you have to have a guide? Do you have to be camping to use the kayakes or can you just spend the day at the park and use them?

    • @CampTravelExplore
      @CampTravelExplore  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No you don't need a guide and you would have plenty of time to do the route and they wait on you at the pick up. It took us a good 4 hours I would say!

  • @robertpeters6793

    • @CampTravelExplore

      I think you could do it in about three hours or less, it depends on how much you stop along the way to take in the wildlife. Great paddle though!!
