We went kayaking out of Rogers park for the first time this past weekend and it was amazing! Some of the clearest water I have seen in Florida, beautiful nature surrounding the path(including manatees in the springs), and a nice relaxing atmosphere. I would highly recommend this launch spot. We had a blast!

Fresh water beach next to the river, next to a tavern overlooking the swimming area. Tons of kayakers and boaters passing by. Though there are a lot of small fast black ants on the beach which get all over your stuff but they seem harmless. Has an ok restroom area. And it’s $ 5 to park before 5p and $ 2 after. Seem pretty clean and no annoying bugs besides the ants.

This is the best spot to put your kayak in, paddle up to the springs, and float back down. The Weeki Wachee(sp???) is a beautiful river, the clearest water and sandiest bottom I’ve seen, so it’s a fun trip for kids or friends/family that are not interested in paddling a river with dark lurky type waters. I actually have yet to see a gator on this river which is pretty darn rare for Florida — much more common to see a Manatee. Last time we paddled there a family of kayaks passed us when we had stopped to swim and they had a manatee tailing their boats, they said he’d been following them for a while — what fun! This park is easy in easy out, has a good swimming area for cooling off after you get the boats loaded back up, and has a good little fish shack/bar with some post-paddle greasy food just across the river. It gets busy and fills up so get there early to make sure you can get in and park.
