Thought it was gonna be a nice lazy trip down the river like at rainbow river, but got so much more and loved it all. We definately didnt take her seriously when the lady at the front desk kept telling us that she was being serious. After a lightening storm, sunken canoe, lots of trunks that stopped us dead in our track, a bee sting and lots of laughs we started to take her seriously. It was one of the best experiences I've had in Florida and I live here. My advice to all is take the people seriously they are not joking. P.S They call it divorce run haha and we definately met a couple along the way that made us understand why! Just went down the canoe run today, went with my boyfriend and his friend.

The water seems to be substantially lower than it was a few months ago. Strong current in places, and some challenging spots especially with overhanging branches. The main picnic spot is about halfway down on the right hand side on a bluff, you won't miss it. There are a few additional spots you could stop in the second half of the trip, but none that are designated. One of the better locations has had an alligator guarding it the past two times I've visited. It's some of the most beautiful scenery you'll find in Florida, though, and well worth the trip. Be safe, and have fun. I was there last week. The water seems to be substantially lower than it was a few months ago.

I see that you are the one that posted pics of the pond and such. We went for the first time in April of 2008. My wife and I were visiting family in Florida and decided to try out the canoe run. To say that it was breath taking is such an understatement. We have some fantastic pics of the creek run itself. I would be happy to email them to you if you would like to post them. Thanks! Brian Michael,
