Florida: Rock Springs Run Clear Kayak Adventure

Paddle through the stunning Emerald Cut of Rock Springs Run on a 2-hour guided tour. Enjoy crystal-clear waters, lush scenery, wildlife sightings, and swim stops.
Discover the breathtaking Emerald Cut on a 2-hour, 2-mile guided paddle tour along Rock Springs Run, one of Florida’s only Wild and Scenic Rivers. Glide through crystal-clear emerald waters surrounded by lush, jungle-like landscapes and sandy riverbeds in the heart of Central Florida’s Wekiva River Basin.

Begin with a paddle upstream, navigating gentle currents, twists, and turns beneath a canopy of trees until reaching the bridge at Kelly Park. Along the way, your guide will point out favorite swim spots for a refreshing dip in the river.

On the return journey, relax and float downstream, letting the current guide you back to the launch point. Keep an eye out for local wildlife, including alligators, turtles, river otters, white-tailed deer, black bears, and a variety of birds such as egrets, herons, and bald eagles.

Please note: During the rainy season (August & September), the water may turn a tea-colored red due to natural tannins from fallen leaves, though the experience remains just as beautiful.

This tour is suitable for all paddling levels, from beginners to experts, and is ideal for families. Participants must be confident swimmers, comfortable in the water, fully mobile, and in good physical condition to join. Enjoy a unique adventure into one of Florida’s most scenic natural treasures.
