The Santa Fe River is unique among the many found in North Florida, flowing underground in O’Leno State Park through an intricate cave system only to emerge in River Rise Preserve State Park. The best part? It is all protected for future generations so that they too can appreciate this natural wonder. Learn about the rich history of the Santa Fe River, which boasts over 36 named springs that contribute to its waters. During certain times of the year, the river itself can run clear, displaying a see-through sweet tea or amber-brown color. Our experienced guides provide fascinating information about each spring and the surrounding ecosystem as you paddle around Rum Island and the Santa Fe River. Keep an eye out for local wildlife such as fish, herons, otters, white-tail deer, swallow-tail kites, mullet, and an abundance of turtles.

  • Admission ticket included
Paddle through a stunning 0.25-mile stretch of crystal-clear water, home to some of the state’s prettiest submerged aquatic vegetation. Marvel at the vibrant underwater landscapes as you glide along this pristine spring run. Take a refreshing swim in the inviting 20-foot swimming hole, fed by 44 million gallons of fresh water daily. Enjoy plenty of time to relax and immerse yourself in this natural oasis. On your journey, encounter "Aric the Giant," a majestic 400-year-old cypress tree that stands as a testament to the area's rich natural history. This ancient giant offers a glimpse into the past and adds a sense of wonder to your adventure. This experience combines the tranquility of clear kayaking with opportunities for swimming and exploring unique natural features.
