Join us for a guided paddle on the Santa Fe River to ACT’s newest conservation purchase, Santa Fe Springs Preserve. We will paddle up the Santa Fe River towards Olustee Creek and visit the second-magnitude spring, Santa Fe Spring, before returning to our launch location. The scenery on the river is spectacular in the fall and we should see some wildlife. We will be led by local guide and Florida Master Naturalist Lars Andersen of Adventure Outpost.
We will be taking special precautions to implement proper social distancing of at least 6 feet on this trip. Face masks will be required to be worn when on land and when near other participants both on land or on the water. Temperature checks will be conducted upon arrival and hand sanitizer will be available.
