I was thinking of another urban paddle today. Clear Lake, just southwest of Downtown Orlando. I have never kayaked there. But, it was raining. The system must have been moving north to south as it was forecast to let up north of town before it did in Orlando. So, headed north, to Gemini Springs Park.
Trying to find the third spring. It has to be pretty small. This is just the run.
Here are the twins
On the water at 6.
Moorhen
Great blue heron
Anhinga
Blue heron
Osprey
Turned around, here.
Limpkin
The run is extremely shallow, the rain is welcome
Alligator
Landed at 7:25
The former swimming area. Closed since 2002 due to high levels of bacteria in the water. From bird poop. Declining flow from the springs is too week to flush it out.
Valet parking.
