We just returned from a weeklong excursion at Juniper Springs in the Ocala National Forest. It was part of Chris and Chris' 7th anniversary celebration. A favorite getaway, we were disappointed to find both major attractions closed.
The spring was closed for reconstruction, (it was built in the 30's), which meant no swimming. And the 7 mile canoe run was shut down due to the 10,000 acre fire started by careless campers. Bummer.
On the other hand, we had beautiful weather, great friends and plenty of food. And they opened the canoe run just in time for us to do a run. Read more about Juniper Springs from our 2008 vist or via Recreation.gov. Just watch out for #%$& raccoons.
