The self- guided 2 mile loop trail will take you approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. Areas are equipped with picnic tables and grills. Divers must be cave certified. Swimming Swimming is available every day of the year from 8 am until sundown at the North Entrance. During the off-season, you must arrange your own transportation service either with a local canoe outfitter, or private vehicles.
Canoe rentals are available from local venders outside the park.
Canoeing is recommended during the weekdays during the summer-season due to the high volume of tuber traffic. Accessibility on the River Ramps into the river allow access from the North entrance with a secure area to leave wheelchairs. However, when tubing, the float time from the Upper Launch to the Last Take-out can be up to 3 hours, and the ability to exit the river is limited. During the summer months a shuttle runs from the South entrance to the North entrance. Citizens Support Organizations are non-profit corporations given special status by Florida law that make it possible for you to support your favorite state parks.
