Santa Fe River and springs



95  Blue/Naked confluence

Deer on the way to Rum Springs County Park (Gilchrist County, I think)


Rum Springs


 Gichrist Blue Spring Run


I found a place to get out of the kayak and donned the snorkel gear
Gilchrist Blue was still a private park back in 2017.  With a $10 entry fee.  I knew the Park closes for a week or so during the New Year.  So, I was kinda sorta sneaking in.

Back in the kayak.  Other than anchoring my kayak in the run, I did not land

Visiting the springs of Ginnie Springs Park.  Another private facility.  By private, I mean privately owned, public welcome, for a fee.















I think there are 7 springs on the Ginnie  side of the Santa Fe

After paddling down, and back up the Santa Fe, I took a lunch break at Rum Springs

Back at Rum, I got in the water.
