The canoe trip from the ramp at Wekiva springs park to Wekiva Island is around a mile each way. This can be done in either direction, both places have canoes/kayaks for rent.

Now this is my kind of canoe trip. The put in at Wekiva Springs park is easily accessible, we rented a canoe on the spot for twenty bucks and were quickly on our way. From there it was about a mile or so of down stream paddling in crystal clear waters. Before we'd so much as broken a sweat we crossed under a bridge and arrived at Wekiva island, where we quickly discovered and commandeered the surprisingly well stocked craft beer bar. We spent some quality time in there mentally preparing ourselves for the voyage back later that afternoon. From here on out any river that doesn't offer this most basic of amenities is going to suffer by comparison. This is now the gold standard, highly recommended.

Some yahoo took it upon himself to inform us the 50/50 is the best sandwich in the greater Orlando area "bar none". Can't say as I'm willing to go that far, but it was tasty
