The view of where to launch a boat to explore Lake Ocklawaha near Orange Springs, Florida.
Looking out at Lake Ocklawaha

On our way home last Monday from Tampa, we took a normal 3 1/2 hour trip home and stretched it into 10 hours. We went exploring in the the northern central part of Florida. We just followed brown signs to different county parks, wildlife management areas and this incredible view where you would put your boat in at Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway that winds into Lake Ocklawaha near Orange Springs, Florida. We found this to be a great place for an upcoming visit with our inflatable kayak. That was the purpose of the day…to find fresh water to launch for a future time. The boat ramp was to the left of this photo. We can’t wait to go on our next adventure and see what this part of natural Florida has to offer.

      I think we will be going there in the future for sure. There wasn’t any wind at that time. I’m sure there are days it is rough. I think once you get down that stretch of water and out in the open, it might be as glassy. πŸ™‚

      Yep, it’s called taking a day off and advantage of the situation. LOL! We had our food with us and had a picnic at Silver Springs State Park in Ocala. πŸ™‚

      Yay! I don’t know when we are going on a paddle but I hope soon. We need to go before the kids get out of school and during the week. πŸ™‚
