Wacissa Spring

As we walked up to the air boat at the beginning of our trip at Wacissa River Springs, I was magnetically drawn to gaze in wonder at the view in front of me.

The river flows approximately 15-miles (19 km) south through a broad cypress swamp before breaking into numerous braided channels which join the Aucilla River, a few miles further south.

Kayaking the Slave Canal to the Aucilla River

It’s best to take this trip with an experienced guide. Even though the Slave Canal is marked, you could easily get lost among different channels branching off so its best to take this trip with an experienced guide. 

This adventurous kayak or canoe trip is stunning. 

The water is clear and shallow and although the paddling was easy as the current was flowing fast in assistance, it was quite technical.
