Just east of Silver Springs is another popular kayaking run called the Juniper Springs Run. It is seven miles and the shuttle is provided by the park so it's pretty easy to arrange. This run though is a little tougher than all the others that I have done since once you leave the first dock there is nowhere to get out until you hit the take out point. There are no roads and no trails of any sort so it's either you keep kayaking or hitch a ride on a canoe coming down or something.
They do say that this is not for beginners and that is correct. You need to have very good control over your boat throughout and there's even a fun little bit of rapids to get you all wet. It's a fun ride and if you're up for it you should totally take on the challenge!
I guess it was especially funny for me since I did it in a folding kayak which was meant for just calm lakes and I got soaked!
