Join Michele Benton of Om Sunshine Yoga & SUP for a half-day spring paddle adventure in North Florida.
Meet us near High Springs, Florida for an amazing paddle from Rum Island down the Santa Fe River with stops at Gilchrist Blue Springs and Ginnie Springs. We launch from Rum 138 and float/paddle for miles stopping to explore at least 5 perfect and clear spring heads. Pause for a moment at each to swim, snorkel or just meditate on the sparkling blue/green water.
This is an exciting adventure exploring some of the springs of North Florida.
“Geologists from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection claim that the U.S. state of Florida may have the largest convergence of freshwater springs on the planet, with over 700.[1] Hydro-logical springs are naturally occurring places where water flows from the aquifer (underground) to the surface. There are springs located within 21 Florida State Parks.” -Wikipedia
