Why is is it closed at the head? Juniper is one of my favorite runs of all time.
Inquiring minds want to know. Hurricane damage?
Many places in the Ocala National Forest were hit pretty hard. This website has a news area about Juniper Springs near the bottom of the page. By the way, if you are a bird watcher the area below the Juniper Springs takeout to the takeout on the boat ramp on the St. Johns River (Lake George) has lots to view. I would take a beater paddler for Lake George because as big as it is it is very shallow quite aways from shore. Was suprised to see several string rays on the bottom in the shallow water.
Thanks Kayak_Ken. We are planning our winter canoeing and I take it this is the ramp on Lake George

Yes that is the takeout. I think from the Juniper Springs takeout (putin) to the boat ramp is about 8 miles. Saw 5 eagles and about 10 different kind of birds that I don't know the names of last time I went down it.
Sorry about the late reply. The water level is still high to them and many downed trees. Bushes along the banks are bending over into the run. Water in the run has some tanin in it. We kiva river area is very high and lacking acess. Rainbow river is not as clear a normal but has good access
