Paddle to Cypress Spring

03/11/17

I've lived in Florida my whole life and this is one of the most breathtaking springs I've ever laid eyes on. We used the Culpepper Boat ramp as the directions to the Cotton Launch took us to private property. It was about a 3/4 mile paddle up river (I was on SUP, he was on kayak) on lower water so it was quite a challenge. It took us 30 minutes to make it up to the cutoff to the spring. It's easily noticeable as you can see the flow from the spring run joining the river. Once you paddle up to the main hole, the clarity and quantity of water is spectacular. We live on a spring and I work with springs and this was a wonderful hidden gem. Highly recommend!
