Wakulla River

Carrying the outflow from the largest freshwater spring in the entire world, the Wakulla River is known for clean, clear water. Throughout the years it has been a favorite of filmmakers and photographers for the amazing underwater shots available here.

Blue heron, gar, mullet, bass, ospreys, otters, turtles and alligators are all abundant in and along this short but sweet river trip. As if that weren’t more than enough, the Wakulla River is also home to the northernmost population of West Indian Manatees in the world, allowing paddlers outstanding opportunities to view these gentle and endangered river giants.
