58 degrees, North entrance to South entrance, 9.76 miles, 3:06 paddling time
We had not intended to do a long paddle today, but the South gate was locked today. We rode around, hoping to find another put in with no luck so today we put in at the north entrance of the state park and paddled to Highway 129 boat ramp. We did notice that at the put in there was a new ramp installed - this is always nice.
The beginning of this river has a good flow, but the last 4 miles the river becomes very wide and still after not paddling for so long. I definitely could feel my arms. As usual the river was beautiful and we were lucky enough to see about seven manatees. it was a good start to our Florida 2025 paddle adventure.
