The Weeki Wachee River is a enjoyable and scenic day paddle that explores the clear and wildlife-filled river in the heart of Florida's Nature Coast. The clear water makes it easy to see lots of underwater wildlife including fish, turtles, alligators, and manatees. The put-in is at the state park which is home to a mermaid show that takes place in the springs. The river is slow flowing and very mild but there are not any other access points between the state park and Roger's Park.
