6 Nights / 7 Days
Located in the heart of North Florida’s vast forests lies hundreds of large magnitude crystalline springs that feed several outstanding rivers and waterways including the Santa Fe, Suwannee, Ichetucknee, and the Northern Withlacoochee. These springs were featured in National Geographic Magazine in March of 1999. Our base camp will be a brand new lodge at the confluence of the Suwannee and Northern Withlacoochee Rivers. Over the course of the week we will paddle several scenic rivers, go tubing down a spring run, snorkel a host of large springs, and explore an area of Florida rich in history, culture, and unbridled beauty.
Airport pick up, drive three hours to Suwannee River State Park stopping for lunch in route. Introduction to kayaking riverside.
Madison Blue Spring swim, snorkel and play. 8-mile kayak trip down the Withlacoochee River to our cabins. Stopping at Pot Springs and the old Sawmill Springs. Evening swim at Falmouth Springs
Suwannee River Paddle from the lodge to Dowling Park. Stopping at numerous springs, swings, and shoals.
Kayak the Suwannee River’s “Spring Alley.” Float for half an hour, get out and explore a spring, repeat all day! On the way back to the lodge we will explore the world-famous Peacock Springs State Park at Luraville. Don’t be surprised by the number of international travelers you may find at the end of the lightly-traveled dirt track, as people come from all over the world to scuba dive the vast network of underwater caverns found here. We will swim and snorkel the placid run between the springs. The amount of wildlife found in a clear water slough is so amazing and beautiful that you’ll want to swim the few miles out to the Suwannee.
We start a little early today so we can be one of the first people on the water. The Ichetucknee is the ultimate tubing run in the world! Clear flowing water, sand bottom littered with fossilized sharks teeth, and the States Highest level of protection. Make sure to pack your snorkeling gear and underwater camera.
A bit of a drive today, but there’s a huge pay off. We will be visiting the Wacissa Springs Unit and River. Hundreds of springs dot the riverbed creating a big crystal clear river with heaps of animals. Everyone gets a thrill from their first glimpse of a giant turtle, river otter, manatee, or small alligator swimming under their kayak.
Sleep in! When you do wake up, take a walk, go for a swim or maybe a short paddle. Our van departs for Orlando between 10:00-11:00 a.m., with a 2:00 p.m. arrival at Orlando International Airport.
