See more
Experience the beauty of the St. Johns River with a tandem kayak rental at Blue Spring State Park. This 2-hour adventure lets you glide through calm waters, surrounded by lush scenery and abundant wildlife. The spring run is a protected manatee refuge, especially during colder months when over 300 manatees can be spotted resting in the area.
The designated "No Wake Zone" on either side of the run makes this spot perfect for kayaking and canoeing. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced paddler, you'll enjoy the peaceful environment and the chance to see wading birds, alligators, and other fascinating creatures along the way.
All necessary equipment is included, such as boats, paddles, life jackets, area maps, and whistles. Just bring your sense of adventure and a valid photo ID to get started. Note that there is an admission fee to enter the park, payable at the park gate.
