Paddle/swim Weeki Wachee River from Rogers Park.

We will paddle upstream 4 miles then back down (8 total) the Weeki Wachee river. You need your own kayak, they do have rentals in the area, but I have no information on it. Paddles in the water at 9am.
Please read the river riles on the website. Thanks

Swimming in the river is kind of tricky from your kayak, here is link for the rules. https://www.experienceweeki.com/spz
You can swim at Rogers Park in designated areas, after the kayak if you can't inter and exit your kayak without disturbing the environment (basically don't touch anything but water) . They have big signs along the river letting everyone know where swimming is allowed. Please read the river rules if you are planning to swim, its a $140 fine and police do patrol the river regularly.

We will meet in the Rogers Park parking lot, 8am is usually a good time to find parking, so try to get there early if you can.

Very good restaurant near Rogers Park if anyone wants to grab lunch afterwards.

Items that you may want to bring: plenty of drinking water, snacks, lunch, hat, sunglasses, camera, sunscreen, bug repellent, closed toe water shoes, PFD and whistle/horn. It's your responsibility to be USCG
compliant.
