Trip Overview

Only minutes from Orlando, this paddling trip is the most scenic in all of central Florida. Come enjoy a full day of clear running water, sand pine scrub, hammocks, pine flat woods, and black water swamps. This trip offers a great opportunity to observe alligators, the rare black bear, and numerous wading birds all from the safety of your kayak. A light lunch is provided picnic style, riverside.


 We offer three distinctively different Wekiva trips. Our most popular is the Lower Wekiva run from Katies Landing to Highbanks road (9 mile paddle). We also offer Rock Springs Run from Kings Landing to Wekiva Springs State Park (9 mile paddle) and the Middle Wekiva from the state park to Katies Landing (9.5 miles).
