Kayaking
Take 44 toward Inverness. On the left is Rutland boat launch into the Withlacoochee River. You can paddle up and back. The launch is about 10 - 15 miles from the 44/301 intersection. Also, you can go to Homossassa and kayak the river there. It is about a 30 minute kayak to Homossassa State Park where you will see lots of manatees. However, the best place to see manatees is Blue Spring State Park. This is near Deland. You can also kayak from the state park on the St. Johns River. Then there is always Lake Harris or Lake Griffin. There is a launch in Lake Griffin State Park which is on US 27 about 15 minutes from The Villages. Hope this helps.
