Upper Juniper Run
This run is definitely for a more advanced kayaker and has more twists and turns than many of the runs I have been on, and I had to do the fallen tree limbo more than once along my travel. I have paddled this a couple times and have been dumped out of my boat at least once . The class 2 rapids are first noticed when the creek suddenly starts speeding up then you see the rapids, I stayed to the right side as it appeared better and at the end of the rapids on the right is a sand bar, in case you need a stop afterwards.
Sue and I loved juniper run

Links Describing Juniper Springs
I spoke to the concessionaire in July 22, who said that no shuttle is available that they are seeking funding for a shuttle vehicle, and at that renrals were not available. The boardwalk apparently also needs repair to the launch, but if you bring your own boat they will show you a way in to launch.
