…the song “Amos Moses” keeps playing in my head. What are you wearing to repel horseflies & deerflies? This looks much like Brooker Creek off Lake Tarpon used to.

I canoed Brooker Creek years ago before EL Woodlands got totally developed. It was reduced to a ditch by the time you paddled & poled to the culvert at the golf course. There were orchids, ferns, & air plants thick in the trees. Always a few gators & softshell turtles hanging out. Is it navigable to the Preserve now?

Thinking of kayaking here any recommendations? From what I hear there are gators, is there anything else to be concerned about?

Should one be worried about alligators? 12:40

Great

I'm a Floridian who understands why you can't swim in the springs anymore. Tourists and the hordes of people that have come here in the last few years have no respect for our Rivers. Mooring and anchoring destroying trees, swimming and disturbing the bottom of the river where Grass Grows, the list goes on. Weeki Wachee has been almost destroyed because of the hordes of people that want to have their fun because they believe it's their right. Like I said there is no respect for nature when fun is on the agenda

I know all about a "hot Florida summer day"... FOR SURE!!! ...and how refreshing that spring-water is, on a, "hot Florida summer day"... Awesome video. Thanks for sharing!!! ...and safe travels

I didn't see any houses that you guys were looking at

What was the water level reading when you went? I’m trying to get an idea of what it will look like when me and a buddy go

The silver river is browning because in a few more yards you would have merged into the Ocklawaha river. It is essentially the opposite of the silver river. It reminds me of the Louisiana bayou with it's cypress knees and tannic water. You should try it next time for a completely different experience.

How far from the kp hole is where the ladder is? Where the guy jumped in the water.

The river by the boat ramp is called Brooker Creek and it indeed turns into a stream after McMullen Booth rd and winds up into the Brooker Creek Reserve conservatory. Thanks for the video!

Awesome vid sir! I learned a lot by watching your contents. Your new friend 👍👍

Wow! Florida really is beautiful! Thanks for making this video!

Really enjoyed this, looks like a wonderful day. The voice over worked well. Looks like you got some good exercise as well. I assume you take water/snacks?

Well, I did it! Not at your pace. 😳 I got in the water at 10:30, I paddled 5 hours and 26 minutes and did a round trip of 10.23 miles. I was so close to the bridge but my arm (old injury from mountain biking) started to really ache and I was getting short in water so I caved. It was so beautiful. No monkeys, but I saw a couple of manatees, lots of turtles and fish and an alligator crossing the river. Thanks for the video and the information about the area and what to expect.

Nice video! You have a great cadence to your paddling. I am going to Silver River tomorrow. I want to launch out at Ray Wayside because of what you said about paddling upstream first and cruise back. I hope my plan works out. Debating about what time is best to arrive to get in the water before it gets crowded. Any advice?

I stayed at woods ferry one time there was only 2 other people a couple of pavilions down from us it was quite nice.

My place is just a mile back up river from Woods Ferry. I offer Off Grid camping there. I’ll share a link of you are interested.

Great video, enjoyed the river views and commentary. Great job on the flips👏

What is the make of your kayak?

Hi, I’m new to kayaking. What map/app do you use?

We just paddled the springs last month. We were gonna go all the way to Ray Wayside but the line to put in at the springs was so long and crazy we didn't get on the water till late. It was still a great paddle doing Fort King and the spring head. Only the river traffic was horrendous and it was a Wednesday in February. I have the video posted on my channel. Great video Sir!

I've been planning on doing the Suwannee myself and enjoy watching how others handle it. Good video! What was the water level? Low enough for beaches I see.

I always love watching kayaking video with in this area.. it’s so clean, clear, and blue!

If it's anything like here in the panhandle, there's a good chance those pontoon boats weren't even registered to Florida... Tourists love hauling their boats down to come exploit our resources with no care about the damage because they're on vacation.

Nice video! The Silver River is one of my favorites as well! Looks like you had some great weather for paddling!

Great video! If you keep the spare one out of the sun it will appreciate like real estate.

How is the stability on the Tempest? I recently upgraded from a Tsunami 140 to an Eddyline Fathom--and while it is pushing my skill development, it is NOT a "relaxing" paddle. Curious about the Tempest.

Exactly the video I was looking for. Looking at putting in at Worthington Springs and paddle down to the Suwannee and camp along the way. Anyone got any suggestions on places to camp. Thanks for the video!! Edit: I have transport from river sink to river rise

Nice video, my friend! Lovely kayaking! Best way to relax, haveing some whater adventure isn't it? 😉 The nature Is amazing, too.. Enjoyed watching a lot! Cheers from Russia, amigo , and how about visiting my channel as well? I've got something to share about floating, camping, and other! Anyway, best wishes in all your plans and beginnings! Best regards, Yuriy!

We were there a week ago absolutely beautiful

this was amazing!!

What kind of kayaks are these? They look like just what I want to buy.

Digging your narriration on this one 🤠🤙

Suwannee river is a great place to yak!! Have yet to camp on that river yet but would love too!! Not many flat accessible areas to camp out there

Hahahah this is our stomping grounds!!

Thank you for this video. I was recently plotting out more of the Santa Fe. We are trying to expand our kayaking range. I am used to kayaking River Rise and south to 47 bridge. The river is oddly high. I'd be curious what this stretch looks like on normal conditions. Definitely need to bring my GPS for this trek with all the off-shoots. This part of the river isn't for the average person. I'll definitely have to check this out. Your video was perfect timing for my research. Hope to see you on the rivers.

I have used my Garmin bike computer for navigation on kayak trips... I just draw a freehand route along wherever I'm going and save the route. I use one of the rubber band style mounts that comes with the head unit and mount it into the middle of my paddle. Works pretty good because everything looks so much different on Google Earth than in person, so the navigation assist definitely helps.

i don't know why you would pay them to take you to the KP hole, you go there yourself with your own kayak and only pay 6 bucks, and go back there, you still have to go upstream and back down is fast.

That blue Gheenoe at the beginning was pretty sweet. Exactly the type of boat for getting deep into the backwoods.

Nice video... Another thing to keep in mind is tidal swings are huge around Jax... Gotta watch not to get left standard on a mud flat...

Did that run back in 07. Would recommend to anyone.

One question I've gone numerous time but not sure I've seen Naked, is it off the same run that Blue is? I def wanna see that bad boy! TY in advance!

I miss it down there so much. Im looking for a place to buy in the Crystal River/Homosassa areas. Thank you for sharing

Why did you pay for a shuttle? I didn't detect any strong current or whitewater. Just paddle up and back.

New friends here 👋 Howdy neighbor

How to contact for collaboration?

I think the campground was deserted, I think I would've grabbed a screen house.

Love this! How hard is kayaking on your shoulders? I’m asking because I have a bad shoulder but am dying to take up the hobby.
