Review of Weeki Wachee Springs
Reviewed September 26, 2012
The Weeki Wachee River is a spring fed, crystal clear river leading to the Gulf of Mexico - and it is easily accessed by kayak or canoe from the Weeki Wachee Springs. The park itself is pretty busy in the summer months, but kayaking can be done all year around. We do this fairly often. We have our own kayak, but they also rent them behind the park itself, and the staff will pick up non-renters for a small fee and shuttle them back to the park. It's very convenient. The average length of time it takes to go to the pick up point is about 3.5 hours. But take your time! There is much to see! We've seen otters, turtles, a small alligator, lots of fish (because the water is so clear), snakes, loads of waterbirds such as various herons, egrets, wood storks, and ducks. The last time out, an osprey made a spectacular splashdown within 30 feet of the kayak, and made off with a fish!
