Easy in and out for kayaks and SUP. Dont forget the meter to park! Fills up fast. Got there 0820 and the lot was filling up on a Saturday. A little over a 6 mile paddle to see the really clear blue water from here. Up the river is work...sweat equity. The way back to this park has good current and an easier 6 miles back... the views at miles 6 are amazing!

Great access to the Weeki Watchee River. We arrived before 7am and had our choice of parking and no competition getting into the water. We had a nice quiet paddle up the river. We saw manatees, mom and baby, otters, Hawks and heard an owl. Beautiful and shady river meant no sunburns. We took 4 hours to go 4.5 miles up the river and 1 hour and 20 minutes coming back down. The current was fast. We will definitely be doing that trip again!! Only complaint is that coming back to the park it was packed on the river. But it was also Sunday of Labor day weekend.

Amazing kayaking day with clean and fresh water, beautiful landscapes around the river, calm waters and easy for beginners and in the company of fish and others like enjoying the natural environment that we all care for.

Always fun Kayaking down the river or hanging out in the swimming area. You might get to see a manatee!

Easy small boat access for the river. Small area that is perfect on days where its not crowded. if it is a crowded day make sure you get there really early. Best place to cool off when the gulf is too hot

Love kayaking on the Weeki Wachee River get there early because the parking spots go quick. Kayaking up and down the river is amazing being one with nature seeing all the animals and the manatees.

A good local area to cool down during the hot summer months in Florida. There is a small beach with designated swim area that is kid friendly. Has restrooms but no concession stand. There is a boat and canoe/kayak/SUP launch at no charge. All day parking $5. Limited parking spaces for cars and vehicles with trailers. There are a handful of resident manatees you may see when going upstream towards the state park.

Great for kayaking and a place to eat. They have restrooms and a playground. A place to swim. Good place for a families.

Beautiful and clear waters. A lot of spots to stop and swim too. I ended up kayaking and it was a great experience.

I really havent been to Rogers Park in literally 30 years. Was hoping it was kind of the way it was when I was a kid. But of course not. The beach is now a seawall with a weird ramp into the river. And we used to be able to swim and play at will. Now they have a strange swimming area which resembles a public pool. Sad

Wonderful day kayaking on the Weeki Watchee River. Easy launching at the boat ramp. Parking filled up fast($5 for the day), get there early. There is even a guy that sells drinks, food and ice cream, right on the river!

A fun swimming area also has public use charcoal grills and if you have the cash you can rent a kayak also a park with swings

Went kayaking with friends. Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 situation, they dont drop you upstream anymore. The current is strong in many places. So you get a real workout! Beautiful place.

AMAZING PLACE. Crystal clear water. Parking is small and fills up fast. Suggest arriving early. Also its pay to park, cards only. No alcohol allowed. Sheriffs department patrol regularly.

Great spot for swimming, or kayaking. It’s $5 to park all day long. There is also a playground and public restroom. We went kayaking for hours, the water was crystal clear and beautiful. We saw manatees and a ton of fish, got some cool videos and photos as well.

Great park for families to swim and also has a boat ramp to launch kayaks, jet skies jon boats and such from to be able to explore the Weeki Wachee river/spring. Parking is limited so feet there early and be patient!!

Play ground is under shaded area which is nice for the hot days and a beautiful place to bird-watch and you will often see manatees in the Creek

Rogers Park, though its a drive from my residence it is worth it. Ice cold water, not too loud, very relaxing. You can rent canoes or kayaks or jet-ski or boat down one side and another side is set for swimmers. $5 parking for all day, the literal only cons I can think of is the stalls in the bathrooms arent roomy enough to change in as well as too few parking for a lot to enjoy but I guess thats the price you pay for a little oasis️

Love this park, the water is so BEAUTIFUL. Saw manatees.... But when I was there some dude pulled his pants down to adjust himself... Well dude, we saw it all. Many people did!!

Great time water is sparkling people friendly restrooms were clean will beback

Beautiful access to Weeki Wachee river. Boat and kayak launch. Photos are from the river.

Its beautiful...of course! But its also a really great time!!

Great place to access the Weeki Wachee river. Get there early, parking is limited.

Such a great place to enjoy the outdoors. Always see deer in the park. We have enjoyed many gatherings in this park.

Great place to put in a boat to go scalloping, or for a quick swim...dont forget to pay to park

This place is staggeringly beautiful. The people who work here are genuine. Please respect the environment as it may be one of the few places left that are both Tame and awe-inspiring.

Perfect for boat and kayak launch! Big parking lot. The boat ramp needs a sign on the water stating it is not for kayaks or canoes because it may cause injury.

Nice place to launch small boats onto the Weeki Wachee River. Restrooms are adequate. Swimming area.

Easy to park and unload your kayak or paddleboard. Lots to see and water is pretty clear

Hard to find parking during busy season and times (of course!) But always a pleasant experience. Recently went and took my dog on the river on our kayak for the 1st time and it was.. generally successful lol I like when the Kona Ice truck is there, its a pleasant treat after a hot day on the river.

Amazing place, good ramp, generally quite and easy to find parking. Keep in mind that some people may think they own trailer parking spaces. So be patient and have fun. Busy place!

I love Rogerss Park. I grew up in area and have been going for many years. Lots of people and very little parking, but overall, no complaints at all.

Beautiful park to start going upstream paddleboarding. Great spot for dogs to swim.

Nice little park with lots to do. Kayak and small boat launching. Very nice swimming hole. Playground. Picnic areas that are covered. Easy access to the Weeki Wachee River. Definitely worth a visit.

Clean Cold Fun for the family. Bring a float and a snorkel or even bring burgers for the BBQ.Strong Water Current beware.

Nice pick up spot after kayaking down river. Plenty of parking for a small fee

Beautiful Place on Weeki-Wachee River

Great place, does tend to get over crowded on the weekends. Would recommend a weekday if possible. They have rope swings throughout the river and different sand bars on the side. Water is crystal clear. You will have spots where it is all wildlife and towards Roger will be houses on the bank and even rentals if you are looking for a place to rent on the water! Family friendly and we got to see manatee as well!

The place is beautiful and nice to do canoes. But with this Covid 19, yesterday the visitors were NO practicing the social distance and almost everyone were NO wearing face masks. I visited this place yesterday and I decided to left the place without getting out of the car and got back home.

One of my favorite spots, only issue is the parking situation. The parking lot is so small that its always full. Please make another lot or maximize the space for people to park please!

Its one the most favorite for canoeing and kayaking, I did canoeing there several times, and I always loved it, you can use your own kayak or canoe or rent one, for kayaking its 25 $ and for canoeing its 35 $. Carry some water n snacks with you because its a long stream, and you have to paddle a lot. The full length of the stream is almost 5-6 miles and its not in a loop. And if u get lucky you can definitely see mantees swimming with your kayak

Perfect place to launch your kayaks. Best kayaking area around.

Way better spot to port in a kayak or canoe than weeki fresh water adventures.

One of the best springs that we have been to. Kayaked for the first time in my life. Loved it. Water trails really long and the water temperature was so perfect

Awesome place wth an awesome restaurant across the water. Just check the current before you jump in!!

A beautiful beach and kayak launch near our house. Just very crowded. People literally sitting in line as I was trying to load our kayaks. I kinda felt rushed but they were understanding.

Great family park. We go kiyaking and have always had a good time. There are restaurants near by and the upper deck restaurant is on the other side of the river from the park. They have good food and drinks along with a kiyak rental shop next door.

Love this place.I remember 6 years ago it wasnt as crowded as it is today.. to launch a boat is a wait ..I usually go around 4 pm most people are leaving at the time I get to launch the boat and go up the river...do not try it in the morning lol too many peopleunless you there before sunrise...great place to take kids swimming

Launched our kayaks and paddled up the Weeki Watchee river. Nice place to launch and load kayaks. Paddled upstream against the current for about 3 miles and then quickly floated back with the current. The water is amazingly clear. Lots of sandbars to stop and get out. Plan on getting there early. Parking fills up fast.

Easy load in. Ample parking. Clean facilities. Awesome neighbors along the river. Manatees, clear water...what more could you ask for on an 84 degree Saturday in January?

Leave it to hernando co. to chinch and charge to use the parks that belong to the residents.

Is a small park and has a sandy beach. There are restrooms and parking.There isnt much shade. The swimming area is roped off. The water is a cool 72.We saw a manatee swim by outside of the roped off area. There is kayak rentals close by but its upstream paddling.

Nice place. Has something for everyone

Wow the parking and loading situation here is abysmal. I dont know what they could possibly do to make it better but I hope someday they do because its really not even worth visiting the way it is not and Im shocked there arent more accidents in that lot!

Busy kayak/canoe/paddleboard boatramp but folks were polite and patient.

Cheap easy paddle board launch, but get there early fills up fast paddle upstream up to 6.5 miles and float back

I love this place more and more everytime I come here

Amazing place. You better rent 2 nights at least if u wanted to visit

Loved it. great place to swim and get in with small boats

What a Beautiful gem! Whoever wants to relax, bond with the family, and have a refreshment before going to work on Monday, just go there, where you can canoeing in a Crystal Clear River, with a high chance to see Manatees.. Just Beautiful!

Very nice place where you can kayak with manatees.

Got to jump into the swimming hole the spring was very very clear saw a couple of really big manatees this park is awesome

Nothing too thrilling here. A ok place to get little ones entertained. The best thing about this spot is the boat/kayak drop. It is unusual to find a community on the water that invites the strangers with there boats. The views are fantastic and you can tell the community is strong.

Good kayak launch, people have no clue how to not block traffic while loading though...

This is a common launching and landing spot for those exploring the Weeki Wachi looking for Manatees. The main kayak and equipment rental shop is right across the river.It’s busy and the parking is limited. It is quite challenging to get in and out of - especially with larger vehicles and/or trailers.You can visit just the park, there is a small beach and swimming area. I believe there is a fee to use the lot.

It was very nice. Had fun kayaking down the weekie wachee

Decent place to launch and paddle upstream. The kidd like to stay any play at the playset and swim, but it gets too crowded for my liking...

So much fun. Crowded on weekends but everyone is just trying to have a good time and very friendly

Amazing place I just love it.I would go there everyday.Perfect for kayaking or just relaxing on the small beach in cooling water

Great place to kayak. Beautiful views...Relaxing small, clean beach.

Mermaid show was interesting and kids loved it. It was short enough to keep the kids in their seats. Food was good, decent prices, made to order. Kids enjoyed the play park and boat ride. We did not have time to see the animal shows and it was too cold to go swimming but we did go kayaking which was awesome!

Great atmosphere and clean water. Good people

Awesome place, very packed at noon time

Great place to swim has a play ground for children picnic tables restrooms crystal clear water downside you have to be there early to get a parking spot

Very busy day. Great place to enter Weeki Wachi River. Pay $5 got all day parking and drop your personal kayak for free. Prefer a weekday or non holiday myself but still lots of fun.. Lots of Manatees and fish.

Nice place to launch the canoe however, a friend stepped on gas and cut her foot right when we stepped in the water, be careful people!

Very nice early in the morning very limited parking gets extremely busy in the afternoon water crystal clear evrerybody very polite and curtious will definitely go again

Fun place great for families and friendsPs Water is cold always cold

One of florida best places to hit the springs

Nice little hidden park... busy early in the day...

Very nice not many people at all plenty of parking too

Me and Tracy enjoyed Rogers Park kayaking I love it its a good workout and its worth it love it Ill be back soon

Love coming here to relax and unwind.

Little and quaint. Good little place to take a Cold dip on a hot day.

Love this place just wish they had More parking

The water is so clear and calm. Its nice the police patrol the waters.

Pretty cool place decent restaurant too many covidiots to hang out in the water

Hot mess. Crowded. One boat ramp. Dirty bathrooms. Blah!

Nice landing spot for Weeki Watchi Springs

It serves its purpose as a place to go kayaking. Also has a beautiful beach area for. Swimming.

We have been going here for years and always have a great time. You can swim at rogers park or go canoeing down the river to buccaneer bay where the springs are. Gentle giant manatees everywhere, dolphins and lots of fish.

Always a peaceful place to visit... Just wish people would picknup after themselves

Enjoyed the new painted colors around the park. Another great day for the family here.

Everything i loved except ya got to get there early not enough parking unfortunately.

Very. Beautiful and enjoyed the Cooter

Other than an occasional traffic congestion Rogers Park offers both a boat ramp, kayak launch, and swimming area. Its a great place to launch early in the morning and head Upstream towards Weeki Wachee State Park and enjoy a nice leisurely return before heading home. 5.00$ to park all day. There are bathrooms on site and the water is patrolled by the Hernando Sheriffs office and FWC often. This is a great place to get into paddling. There are often manatee and schools of fish to see as well as friendly riverside homeowners. If youre trying to decide if buying a kayak is right for you there is a vendor across from the park offering a wide range of rentals.

White Sands clean bathrooms and crystal clear water with a Chance of swimming with a manatee Rogers Park is definitely an oasis and a diamond in the rough

Love the river but not enough parking. Would be nice if the county made parking just for kayakers.

Great kayaking down Weeki Wachee River

This is a beautiful park.
