Description: We’ll meet at the boat ramp at Miss Maggie’s Campground at 9:00 a.m. to be on the water by 9:30 for a paddle on this COOL clear river. We’ll visit several of the source springs and plan to get wet at “The Crack” before stopping on the riverbank to enjoy whatever lunch/snack you decide to bring with you. This will be a relatively easy paddle but expect to travel about 6 miles. The idea is to enjoy the river, stay cool, and see the wildlife in this unspoiled Florida river.
Location: Miss Maggie Campground, 8600 W. Miss Maggie Dr, Homosassa, FL, 34448. Parking fee is $5. The Campground is at the end of FL Route 480.
Schedule: Wednesday, August 31 - meet at 9:00 a.m., paddle by 9:30 and plan to be back to the launch before 2:00.
Difficulty: This paddle is open to all TBSK members and guests at Level 2 or higher. Distance will be about 6 miles. (See Skills Self-Assessment Chart link below for level assignment. The Guide is found under the “Trip Planning” tab on the Club website, under the heading “Paddling Guide”, or click here.)
Required: All boats welcome but must wear PFD. Bring plenty of water/sports drink and lunch/snack. Wear sunscreen and consider insect repellant.
