Just returned from a 10 day trip to the Ocala National Forest in Florida. Paddled on the Silver River to Silver Springs, Juniper Springs and Creek, and the upper and lower Oklawaha River. It was easily the most beautiful kayak trip I have ever taken, and we saw a great abundance of wildlife....everything but Tarzan. Very clean and inexpensive campgrounds. Great weather with no bugs.

Jeez, even monkeys... Like some Brazil... I was thinking of my 15 ft foldable kayak (can't fly with a fiberglass one), but have got impression that these waterways are short trips (1-2 days each) with 1 or 2 hour drive between them. So, having car is a must. No bugs, you say? What happened to them ? :-) ... > Just returned from a 10 day trip to the Ocala National Forest in Florida. > Paddled on the Silver River to Silver Springs, Juniper Springs and Creek, and > the upper and lower Oklawaha River.
