Alexander Run
Bubbling forth from Alexander Springs into Alexander Creek, this popular canoe run starts at the Alexander Springs Recreation Area and continues for about six miles of paddling to the take-out on the north shore. The run is broad and swift, with many small islands and little dry land to bank on for the first several miles. A paddling trip is the easiest way to experience the heart of the Alexander Springs Wilderness.
Nature Viewing
- Birding is excellent all along Alexander Creek, whether from the seat of your kayak or the observation decks along the Timucuan Trail. Expect to see wading birds of all sorts, including Louisiana herons and limpkins.
