Blue Springs and Snake Creek with friends 2020-11-13 13 km8.1 mi 4h:32m 2 photos

Map

Hit Blue Springs before the manatee refuge closed it off. Then paddle through Snake Creek with some massive growth mats that made it very difficult to paddle through but we made it to hontoon and then down and out through the canal. Spooked one large gator off the bank in the canal and then we discovered a huge one opposite the springs entrance it might be the old man of the river.

Ocala - Silver Springs, last paddle of the year 2018 2018-12-30 17.2 km10.7 mi 5h:03m 16 photos

Map

Met Erika at Ray Wayside for the last paddle of the year. Water was 2-3 higher than normal. AS the fog burned off we were able to encounter 2 manatees, and several gators. The park concession must have rented a 100 kayaks. Never saw so many paddlers. On a positive note, i met two other members of the Church of the Double Bladed Paddle! - Paula Mendoza of Florida and Tim Brown of Savannah.
