Ocala National Forest - Juniper Run Canoe/Kayak Take Out Boat Ramp

This take-out point on Juniper Creek serves as the endpoint for the popular 7-mile Juniper Run paddle, which is recognized as one of the top 25 canoe runs in America but is not suitable for beginners due to challenging conditions, overhead hazards, and underwater obstacles.

The take-out is accessed via shuttle service (included with rental kayaks at $65 for single or $75 for tandem) or private vehicle transport, with shuttle pickups scheduled 4-5 hours after launch.

Note that Juniper Run passes through a Federal Wilderness Area where only hand tools are permitted for clearing, and the run often features tight spots, shallow areas, and hidden logs that require experienced paddling skills.
