Hands down the best freshwater Bass fishing in Florida! Thank god for review sites we have access…read moreto that lead me to Captain Bill Whipple. We were leaving for Florida on Thursday from Buffalo NY and I came across Captain Bills great reviews and fabulous fishing pictures from past clients. I called and after a few questions were answered I knew Bill was our guide. He didn't want a deposit and even said if we weren't happy with our day with him we didn't have to pay. Wow this Captain sure is confident in his abilities, you're not going to find other captains taking that risk. It was an early start to the day meeting at his boat at 6:30AM, and we began a perfect morning fishing on Lake Toho. Bill was at the dock we were a little late as we had some GPS issues in the rental car. Clean facilities at the dock, and a very clean restroom available as well before heading out on the water. We left the dock and what a beautiful morning to be on the lake. My wife's first cast, not even a minute in the water and we had our first fish in the boat. The rest of the day was awesome fishing and Bill made a change of location if the bite slowed. The last area we hit had a consistent bite and we brought in some of the biggest fish of the day. By far the biggest Bass I have ever caught. Our day ended when the 3 dozen shiners were gone, Bill didn't watch the clock or care about the time, he even went an hour over what we booked. The fishing was great Captain Bill worked hard and kept us entertained with his stories and jokes, we couldn't of asked for a better day. We will fish with Captain Bill everytime we come to Orlando!

Captain Bill really knows Lake Toho and he will not waste you time. Some guides just go through the motions but Captain Bill wants to share results. He is always entertaining.

Brinson Park was named for Dr. Haynes Brinson and his wife Agnes. Dr. Brinson moved to Kissimmee in…read more1923 from Georgia and practiced as a physician and surgeon until 1936. Agnes was active in social work and their church. In 1932 City Commissioners named Brinson Park in the couples honor. Brinson Park is a 3 acre open space park located next to Lakefront Park in Kissimmee. A linear park along Lakeshore Boulevard connects Brinson Park to Lakefront Park. Amenities at Brinson Park include BBQ grills, a fishing pier, picnic tables, restrooms that were added in 2015 and wetlands that attract a variety of wildlife. During my visit a family was enjoying a picnic and I admired the beautiful view while spotting several Florida wading birds. It is a pleasant place to walk and I like how it is connected to other parks.

There are restrooms, a play ground, a few different docks, an amphitheater for outdoor concerts & events, picnic pavilions, a snack bar, and more. I especially love the walking path that goes along the lake, and my daughter and I like to spot gators in the water or sunning themselves on land. Last time we were here we saw gators, raccoons, squirrels, the cutest wild bunnies and a variety of large & small birds including roseate spoonbills. There are plenty of benches along the path and it's really nice to be able to sit down and watch the view and the wildlife. V

We decided we are going to rent some bikes when it gets a little warmer and try our hand at finishing the path. However, we did walk some of it though, and it was beautiful.

It's always been, and still is, a lovely and peaceful park. Full of exploration, adventure, joy, with so many opportunities for so many types of events, get together, celebrations, etc. We reserved a multi-family sight and with support from the park staff we were able to use the group camp site that had a nice big bone fire ring, which is where we had our celebration. It's was just isolated enough from the rest of the park we were able to listen to music, talk, and go adventuring around a little bit. We're definitely coming back next year! This is the PERFECT park for a campfire, bone fire, lake swimming, and overnight camping.

I've paddled the Emerald Cut a few times now. Initially I didn't like the idea of paying to launch…read moremy own paddleboard. However, it's only $10 now that I have my own life jacket (saving me additional cost of $5 to use one of theirs, as required). Well worth the low cost for some soul-enriching, communing with nature. I have never made a reservation. I normally arrive around 10:30, most recently on a Friday. Parked for free on Baptist Camp Rd. Just a bit of a walk from there with my inflated paddleboard, but I don't mind the extra exercise. You can unload your stuff closer, if preferable. There are port-a-potties available. You can count on there being a line in the check-in office. Various recreation supplies are available there for purchase. The process moves reasonably enough. A reservation will guarantee your entrance, however, and possibly aide quicker personal info collection. I always plan to do the Emerald Cut in roughly 3 hours round-trip, allowing myself several stops to enjoy the surroundings. You do run into (quite literally at times) novice paddlers along the way, which can be a bit tricky, yet not a real nuisance for me. In general, there's friendliness along the waterway. Slighty rowdy, party vibes in some spots, but also opportunities for solace and zen in various nooks. Encountering wildlife, fragrant elderberry, and other captivating flora along this stretch is always gratifying. It's a popular recreation destination for good reason.

Many tourists don't realize Florida is home to stunning crystal-clear spring rivers--perfect for…read moreswimming, kayaking, and tubing aka "hidden gems". My Hubby and I love kayaking, so we booked an excursion months in advance for Rock Springs through TripAdvisor. Our Tour Operator was Get Up And Go Kayaking located at Kings Landing in Apopka, FL. I LOVE saying Apopka ;) The good news: Apopka is a quick 1 hour drive from Orlando. Make sure you don't miss the turn to King's Landing, because the entrance is located on a narrow dirt road. You must drive past Kelly Park (which fills up fast). There is a Park Ranger located here who will guide you to King's Landing. As you get closer and if you see a parking spot, grab it! Check in is located in the Cabin like office where you will have to sign a waiver. If you do not want to take a clear bottom, guided Kayak tour, you can either rent or BYO Kayak versus taking a semi private, clear, guided kayak tour. NOTE: ONLY use their Sunscreen/lotion which is provided at no cost. It protects the wildlife and the Springs. We wanted the full experience as we have previously enjoyed renting clear Kayaks. Our guide for the morning was: Megan, who was fantastic! Full of energy, information and helpful tidbits about the Springs and its human and wildlife inhabitants. Our group was small and capped at 10. We paddled through both narrow and open stretches, and stopped to swim in the warm, crystal-clear water. One highlight was a banyan tree with an 8-foot natural "jump hole"--such a cool experience! It was a serene, memorable day, and fun fact: this is the very spring featured in the Visit Orlando commercials! Yeah, definitely take a day away from crowded Orlando to relax and enjoy Mother Nature! You will Thank Me ;)

At $4.95 I was extremely shocked to even find a breakfast that cheap. The food was good and the paddle IE kayaking was outstanding the launch ramp itself is a concrete system with I think 4 ramps. There is no specific canoe kayak ramp location but you can launch with really no problem off one of the main launch ramps.
