Lower Juniper Run

 Lower Juniper Run  

A caution or exhilaration - you decide 

Note: This is lower Juniper Run and Goes from Juniper Wayside Launch to Lake George.

This is not the section with the rapids, and as you get closer to Lake George water get more tannic not clear.  

No shuttle is available and juniper's swift current would make a round trip difficult.

According to Florida Fish and Wildlife, Lake George has 2,322 gators, 26 of which are bull gators. Alligator encounters are plentiful year-round, making it the second most alligator-infested lake in the United States.
