Canoeing in Florida is like a day in paradise with your family or group. Plenty
of water makes for great fun on your river trip on the Ocklawaha River. Camp
overnight or canoe for just a few hours, Ocklawaha Canoe Outpost and Resort
will be there to ensure a peaceful and relaxing journey.
As your day
trip begins, you and your gear are loaded into one of our vans or buses and
transported about eight miles through scenic back woods to your put in point.
We unload
the canoes and put them in the water and you are sent off on one of Florida's
most scenic and tranquil rivers. As you go downstream traveling with the three
to five knot current, your journey will be one of quiet and relaxing solitude.
On your trip you will be able to swing from a rope swing over the river or sit
on your own private part of the river bank away from the noise and confusion of
the city. This trip can be done in two and a half to three hours or you can
spend the whole day on the river. There is an optional side trip through the
Dead River and Cedar Creek that will add about one to two hours to the trip.
When you return, relaxed and refreshed, to the outpost, you leave the canoe and
equipment at the cove and we do all the clean up.
The most
popular overnight canoe trip starts when you arrive at the Outpost. After
checking in, you, your camping gear, and the canoes are transported about
twenty miles to the wayside park on the Silver River. Once on the river, you
leave civilization behind. You can paddle up the Silver River to the Silver
Springs attraction, which takes about three hours. The trip down the river is
easy paddling and takes about one hour to the convergence with the Ocklawaha.
The river winds through the old Florida outback. It is wide and deep so there
are no portages necessary, even in the times of seasonal high or low water.
Camp can be set up anywhere there is high ground once back on the OCKLAWAHA
River. When you arrive back at the Ocklawaha Canoe Outpost landing, it's
a short walk back to your vehicle to reload your personal equipment, you
may drive your vehicle to the landing for your convince.
If you do
not have camping equipment, or you do not want to clean it when you return
home, we can supply everything you need except your food, clothes and personal
items. We supply a tent with easy instructions, two burner stove, lantern, cook
kit, eating utensils, cleaning supplies, sleeping bags with liners in water
tight buckets, sleeping pads, tarp, hatchet, shovel, water container, 40 quart
cooler with ice, dry box for storing camping and personal items, canoe,
paddles, life jackets and transportation.

For half-day and day trips, we provide canoes or kayaks,
paddles, life vests, a river map, parking and transportation. You depart as
scheduled and return to the Outpost by 6 PM In the summer and 5 PM winter
