Getting back to Geist Park and which way to go, if you put in and go east you head down Fall Creek. Depending what day it is and who is working, they will charge you $8 to put in/out. I just don't like all the gas and that area where they want you to put out. I recommend putting out back at Geist Park when done versus going under the Olio causeway. There were also many beautiful water lilys and lots of lilly pads on the north side of the lake. I was surprised at how big the younger totally gray swans are. We were fortunate to just build up enough speed to hit a channel current to follow a family of swans. They are very skiddish and fly off with that low, trademark croaking as they leave their roost in a huff. There are so many that they are frankly common, but still so cool to watch. We saw several blue heron spear fish out of the water. If you put in and go right (west) you can go toward the east end of Geist Lake which has channels, lots of algae, shallow, muddy and the further you go towards the Olio road causeway, many mansions including Reggie Miller's.Īdmidst all of this are Great White Egrets, beautiful swans probably a dozen in this area. You would take 113th east off of Olio Road to get there. Geist Park is located off of Florida Road with closest cross street being 113th. We put in at Geist Park, which has the facilities featured in the other report such as nice restrooms, children's playground. This report complement's the one currently posted but adds some detail.
