Excellent
After getting a very rude service from Weeki Wachee rental we where advised to visit Jon at the The Kayak Shack, what a man! Got us on the river within 20 minutes at a excellent rate, told us where to go for the manatees and was just a spot on man in general. Pub directly next door did excellent food right on the river and i would recommend the gator tail. Definitely worth a visit anytime of the year.

A Great Adventure on a Hot Day
We didn't realize how difficult it was to get a kayak in the park, but were happy the four of us (daughters in their early 20s) could do this together, calling in early for a reservation. We never did a spring kayak before and were intimidated by the need to paddle upstream. It turned out fine. It's 3 to 4 times slower to go upstream than downstream. There were some crowds and noisy people enjoying themselves. We were more interested in nature and enjoyed the clear cool water, fish and seeing 5 manatees including two pairs of mothers and their baby. Unforgettable. We didn't make it all the way to the top of the spring as we didn't know how long it would take to get back. We returned by 4 in spite of the 5 PM deadline, but we were all tired and happy. We brought a cooler with some drinks and snacks but should have included lunch. That's our fault.

Launching From Kayak Shack
A lot to like here. First its easy to find and they have their own large parking lot adjacent to where you launch from. Great price, $35 for a day. You pay a lot more in other cities Friendly staff to help you pay, launch and return River is clear, just like you see in photos A couple of small boats on the river, I saw nothing dangerous or concerning from the boats Only downside was the current was running very strong at the time we launched. Research this and I am sure there are times when the current is less. Of what we paddled one side of the river is pristine woodland, the other side is river houses/trailers. There were a number of kayaks on the river too, but not overly crowded. No fault fo Kayak Shack, just be aware and be prepared,
