Got that out of the way- booking is easy to do online and you can also call to book. The have a very thorough FAQ list online to explain everything and I reviewed it and made notes. You meet at a public boat launch at your designated time and they hustle to get that boat in the water for you and get you on your way. My hubby had captained pontoons before and took the helm responsibilities. Our rental guy gave him tips about where to go and navigating the inter-coastal waters- you can get details on sandbars to play at, places to stop to eat and more! We departed at 10:30am and were back to make the return 4 hours later. The boat rode wonderfully- no problems there. It was a perfect boating day too- I would rent with them again!

Santa Fe Lake Park allows free access to the lake, an area to picnic, playground, and restrooms. There is a channel that goes from the boat ramp to the lake. I highly recommend if you do access the lake to make a note of where the channel to the boat ramp is as it is easily lost due to the many cypress trees that can hide it. Parking is ample as well. The park itself does not offer a view of the lake or any water activities other than the boat launch, it is a nice place to have a picnic. I launched my kayak from the boat launch, and enjoyed the park especially since it is free.

The tower gives the park a clear focal point, its height and simple lines rising above the river and the lawns around it. From the walkway you get a strong, unobstructed view of Memorial Bridge, its long concrete sweep carrying traffic across one of the broadest points of the St. Johns. On a sunny day it is an easy and pleasant walk, the kind where you slow down without meaning to. In December, though, the river goes quiet, and you will not see much boat traffic at all.
