What makes High Springs Florida unique?


High Springs is renowned for its crystal-clear springs and meandering rivers, making it a kayaker’s paradise. To enhance your adventure, consider renting kayaks from reputable local businesses like Kayak Haven or Santa Fe Canoe Outpost. Paddle through the scenic Santa Fe River or explore the mysterious underwater caves at Ginnie Springs for a truly immersive experience.


Apart from kayaking, High Springs offers a variety of activities for nature enthusiasts. Hike the picturesque trails at O’Leno State Park, take a dip in the refreshing springs at Poe Springs Park, or embark on a tubing adventure down the Ichetucknee River. The possibilities are endless for those seeking a blend of relaxation and excitement.


Planning for your trip to High Springs


The best activities are just a short driving distance from Upkey Rentals properties. Our drivers can pick you up and take you on a 30-minute drive to Poe Springs. Here’s a few things you should know before booking your visit.


Visit popular attractions during weekdays or early mornings to avoid crowds. Local kayak rental businesses usually open around 9 AM and close by 5 PM. They usually charge $30 to $50 per day for a boat. Check with local businesses ahead of time if you want to lock in a good rate.


State parks may have an entrance fee of around $5 to $10 per vehicle.


High Springs is in a subtropical climate, so you should check the weather forecast and pack the appropriate clothing. During the winter, temperatures can range from around 40-70 degrees Fahrenheit, or 4-21 degrees Celsius. In the summer, expect 70 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, or 21 to 35 Celsius.


Embrace the thrill of kayaking, explore new parks, and immerse yourself in the beauty of this charming town. Our guides will make sure you see the best parts of the park and can help you to take photos at any time!
