2 Day Paddle • Trip Option #1

Accessing the river at this location offers a quiet and scenic start to your paddling adventure. From the town of Oviedo, travel east along CR 419 for approximately two and a half miles until you reach the northeast side of the bridge over the river. A short walk of about one hundred meters from the parking area will bring you down a grassy easement to an unimproved launch located directly under the bridge. This natural access point allows visitors to experience the river in a peaceful setting, surrounded by native vegetation and wildlife. The launch is simple and rustic, making it ideal for those who enjoy more authentic outdoor experiences away from crowded facilities.

The river itself provides a calm environment suitable for paddlers of all experience levels. As you glide along the water, you can take in the serene atmosphere and observe birds, fish, and other river inhabitants. The surrounding landscape is rich with greenery and offers excellent opportunities for photography or a quiet escape into nature. Because the launch area is unimproved, visitors should be prepared for uneven surfaces and natural obstacles along the grassy path. Planning ahead will ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, whether you are kayaking, canoeing, or simply exploring the riverbanks. Remember to follow all local guidelines and respect the natural environment to maintain the area’s pristine condition for future visitors.
