"This place is a real gem. So quite and calm. We launch our kayaks from here. You can pull your truck right up to the water to unload and then park the truck after. They have Picnic tables and a grill for cooking. We went left (upstream) We only seen one alligator. It’s Sunday and our first time out here. I was kinda surprised how people were showing up with kayaks and paddle boards when we were leaving. Bathrooms are cleaner than I expected and mosquitos didn’t carry me away hahaha. Plenty of parking. Want to check out the bond trail across the street in the future. Great place. Will most definitely be back. There is a fee to be there. It’s $3 per vehicle $2 per person. There’s a little black box with blue envelopes to leave your fee. Well worth the price. Also great to see it clean!"
"Wild and scenic describes it well! Kayaking this section of the Wekiva River shows a different and as equally beautiful perspective of this river -floating over its sandy bottom renders a great view of the underwater life, fish, turtles, gators swimming under kayak. As the river goes downstream(northbound in this stretch) it becomes narrower , vegetation more dense and w that the Alligator encounters more frequent too. Some seemed determined to road block our way past them. :)"
"My kayak tour left from here. The park was clean and so were the restrooms. The river access was easy to maneuver around in."
"Great kayak launch. Going north on the river here is very pretty water with few weeds. Remember there is a $3 per vehicle pay box so have cash. Also there are picnic tables. Arrive early to avoid the occasional weekend jet skis. They are a terror"
"Great park! It has a boat ramp and quite a few grill areas on one side. The other side has a vast hiking area with trails! Plenty of photo ops and nice shaded trails for the most part. It is not a very popular hiking trail, so you may have the park to yourself! Bring your water bottle and enjoy! Highly recommend!"
