Photos of Juniper Creek Trail. This is one of my favorite trails in the area, especially the section along the red clay bluffs near Red Rock.
Beverly, it is a nice trail. We were surprised by the bluffs. The dock was easy to spot There is a van to take you back to your vehicle, which is super awesome. We plan to do this run many more times. Great experience and awesome spot for pics and spotting wildlife. Highly recommended from two beginners.
Ed P 1 contribution. I had heard of the juniper run for years and always intended to give it a shot. Having a day off with my twelve year old daughter, I thought we would have a nice father daughter day and hit the run!
I was wrong The water and the surrounding forest are absolutely beautiful, but the run itself is so poorly maintained that the actual canoeing is what I would consider expert level. There are no signs or markings of any kind, several times we canoed down what we thought was the main channel only to find it blocked by fallen trees or debris and had to paddle up stream to return to the main channel.
There were literally hundreds of fallen trees and obstructions throughout the run and in some cases you have two feet to manoeuvre a seventeen foot canoe through. Expect to do as much back paddling as you do forward. The actual run itself is unlike any river I have ever been on. There are numerous ninety degree bends in the river and some that actually exceed that.
I read another review where the person describes the process as like 'pinballing' and this a very accurate description. Bang into one side of the shore and then bang into the other side a minute later.
I love the outdoors and nature but I was thrilled to start hearing cars indicating that we were almost done. I was immensely proud of my daughter that she helped the entire time and only complained moderately. I run and work out regularly and I had to hit the aspirin the next morning. I'm still amazed that we didn't flip the canoe although we came very close several times.
One the ride back I asked ranger if people ever get stuck out there. He responded 'Oh Yes', apparently it isn't an uncommon event for people to bring a cell phone and call the park saying that they are to exhausted to continue or that they have flipped the canoe over and can't get it upright. So overall, beautiful area and if you are fit adults over the age of eighteen and want a difficult but fun adventure If you intend on bringing children or are not physically fit, I would strongly recommend against it.
But the park itself is wonderful and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I just wish someone would do a better job of maintaining the actual canoe run itself.
Hope this helps someone. There has been a serious breakdown in service somewhere. My husband and I did this canoe trip 8 yrs ago with our three small children in one canoe with minor difficulty. We were warned at that time it was not for novice skills. We just went back August 11th eight years later with our kids and this time took our parents and other family members who had just paddled 8 days down the missouri river. We figured we would do fine. The creek has become completely impassable with trees fallen over and overgrowth of vegetation.
Literally everywhere. The equipment they rent you is NOT the proper equipment. You need a single person Kayak to make it. The turns are so sharp and obstructed it's just impossible in a canoe.
You will tip over so just plan on that, There are huge gators on the creek so you need to stay in your boat at all times. We all finished with scratches, bumps, bruises and chiggers. Great run!. Slight ddifficulty, but lots of fun.
Unsurpassed wild scenery. I,ve just returned from The Ocala National Forest after a two-day wekend trip with my wife and teenage daughters and son.
We did the 7-mile canoeing run of Juniper Creek, while visiting Juniper Springs, and it was wonderful!!. The canoes are available at the information desk of the Juniper Springs' cafeteria and its only a short walk to the ramp into the creek.
We rented two canoes, one for my wife and I and, the other, for the kids. Our trip was the first one allowed after the run had been closed following the damage from a recent tornado in central Florida. Since the news of the reopening of the creek had not spread, the run was practicaly empty of other canoes, which I was told makes the creek difficult and slow, sometimes. We saw alligators in the water, at an arm's length; snakes hanging from branches over the creek, just a inches from our passing heads and many types of fish and turtles along the way.
Because of the alligators, the kids got scared at times and wanted to return at others. The alligators in the creek are small and, apparently, non-threatening they keep to themselves, but make the whole run a scary adventure.
