Trip Description: Join Outdoor Adventure for a relaxing paddle along the famously clear Emerald Cut of the Wekiva River. This scenic section winds through lush jungle-like foliage, offering chances to see fish, turtles, and wading birds beneath the canopy. After a peaceful float, we’ll stop for a picnic by the water and enjoy an afternoon in one of Central Florida’s most beloved spring runs.
