This is one of my favourite river in Florida! Thanks for cleaning up the river, everybody should do their part & actually stop littering in the first place. It brought back nice memories. Cheers.

I would do it in those new rigid inflatable kayaks that feel like inflatable paddleboards in terms of stiffness. Just want to make sure it’s pretty puncture resistant.

It also has a great price point! Check out the video - kzread.info/dash/bejne/domfwcxshreqdKg.html

yes you will see the occasional alligator in the River. I saw once about 15 years ago and was swimming the river towing my kayak behind me. He paid no attention to me. I got a nice picture and went on my way. Also saw a number of manatees, river otters, the hippo, when it was still there, and even the monkeys on the island that were kept there by the park as well as the racoons that the tour boat from the park would feed. I've been swimming that river since 1985. Currently live in California and I cannot get back to Florida to get back into that water.

I have jumped from the highest point of the tree that they feature in the video and jumped from another one probably 25 years ago. I have been going to that river forever. Glad to see people picking up the trash it's so annoying. They tried to open a part of it for access without a boat but then people left garbage everywhere so they had to close it.
