We are located in the quaint town of Welaka known for its
beauty and, of course, it's bass fishing. It is so much more than that! A golf cart friendly community , access to the restaurants,
parks, neighborhood produce and seafood market, and pubs are just a short cart ride away. You can rent one our our licensed
carts for excursions around town.
Opportunities for recreation abound. The Ocala National
Forest is across the river, as is the Ocklawaha River, a pristine environment that takes you back in time and
also gives you your best chance to see an alligator. Take your boat out and explore, or rent or charter one of ours,
it is an opportunity not to be missed.

Silver Glen Springs and Salt Springs are located off Lake
George and are a great day trip by boat. You can also take the oldest operating ferry in Florida across the river just south
of us. From there you have a seven mile drive thorugh the Ocala National Forest on a dirt road into the quaint town of Salt
Springs (and the Spring itself). Heading south you'll come to Juniper Springs and Run (excellent canoeing and kayaking)
and Silver Glen Springs. Being in the Ocala National Forest, you'll also have access to many trails as well including the
Florida Trail which, when completed, will extend from the southern tip of Florida into the panhandle.
Hiking trails in the Welaka Forest provide an up close way
to see nature and allow you access to a secret spring ! Strong kayakers can rent one of ours for access by water.
Of course, for many fishing from the dock or their boat
will provide all the entertainment they desire. And for others a dip in the pool followed by a beautiful sunset will be their
respite.
