so guys made out again you go or to that trimming tree right there do some tree
jumping so I'm thinking about jumping off of that tree
...Music playing...
there is a river that we're going to kayak down and an interesting thing
about Weeki Wachee is that it is the deepest spring in the United States so
there's an underground river that flows underground and then comes up and where
it comes up is the Weeki Wachee spring or the Weeki Wachee river that then
empties into the Gulf of Mexico so it's the deepest spring in all of the United States
...Music playing...
so I'm standing right now in the Weeki Wachee river and the water here is very
very warm the Weeki Wachee spring where all of this water comes from is a good
72 to 74 degrees year-round and so that makes for some very very warm waters
that are here it is just a beautiful area but also very awesome to see the
nature that is here we've seen manatees and just a plethora of fish there's
birds there's so much wildlife to see as we're paddling along this river
...Music playing...
we've seen a ton of manatees and fish in an area that is known to the locals
as Hospital Hole which is an area where the river opens up a little bit and then
there's kind of a deeper area and the reason that it's gotten the name
Hospital Hole is because according to legend since this does connect to the
Gulf of Mexico that this is where animals come from the ocean to recover
if they're injured so interesting legend and could possibly be true one of the
manatees that we saw did have some white marks which would indicate possibly some
scarring so that might absolutely be the case with that hospital hole area
overall this is just a wonderful experience and a beautiful crystal-clear
river the water is just crystal-clear kind of a sandy bank perfect area that
we're here right now to just pull out and eat some lunch you can pack a lunch
with you is you kayak up and down the river so we're gonna keep going up river
for a little while longer and then we will turn around and come back down river
...Music playing...
we're visually one mile away should we go back but I don't think the
dummy cheese around here at all I mean we passed it seemed to be a passenger
train I don't think so I think I think it's down the river just a little ways
so I'm thinking about jumping off of that tree it's the jumping tree right
over there what do you think so guys great out
again you go or to that jumping tree right there if you didn't see it right
there and he's doing the swim across this kayak is gonna go retreat him I
don't know he's gonna go do it
how warm he's six feet tall guys yeah there's no snakes dad I promise
snakes would be here I think I was just my kayak
yeah retrieve him daddy's scared Oh is he falls I'm gonna definitely call
nine-one-one spawn mom get your phone out ready to call 9-1-1
I think he's going guys come he's going it's gonna be insane dad I got the boat
we need a ride towards you enough okay so you need help I'm gonna speed right
towards you
it's lunch pretty yet oh we see
I like I need to get moving again to warm up chilly today all right let's
race come on Dakota go go go oh you fussing
me whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
my Apple Watson is eating and I hit it like wondering like am I getting attacks
or whatever and it says it clicks you're swimming do you want to record your swim
so the Weeki Wachee State Park and the Weeki Wachee Springs area a really
interesting area there is a natural spring which is one of the deepest
springs in the United States but it's pumping out over a million gallons of
water every single day and that is what creates the whole Weeki Wachee river
system that you see is kayaking on in so really just interesting natural wonder
that's here in Florida the water that's coming out of there is between 72 to 74
degrees and so today it was actually rather chilly here and so the water was
actually warmer than the outside temperature most of the day so really
just beautiful area the kayaks are a great way to see the water so if you do
ever find yourselves in like the Orlando or the Tampa area cannot highly
recommend this area enough to come see and especially if you do a kayak or a
paddle boards who are down the river it's just a way to experience this area
and major at its finest hey guys this is Trinity here and today we are going to
Weeki Wachee sorry
