Default Kayak
We moved in last week to our new house in Sanibel. We want to go kayak at Lake Sumter. How do we go about doing that?
Thanks for your help.

You can't, it is privately owned by the Morse's. The only people they allow out there are the dragon boats. Same with fishing, can't fish in Lake Sumter.

Thumbs up Springs
A good place to Kayak is Rainbow Springs. It is about 30-45 minutes away and worth the drive.

Lake Griffin State Park is only a few minutes away. They have boat ramps and canoe rentals. We've also brought our own kayak there.
