The 50 min is dictated by a slow zone through the Dead River connecting Lake Harris and Lake Eustis, and an idle speed zone through the Dora Cannel connecting Lake Eustis and Lade Dora. There is a good public boat ramp at Hickory Point Park with good parking and docks minutes from the inn and marina. The run through the Dora Cannel is a wonderful old old Florida experience. In the Dead River there is a hamburger /beer / oyster bar on the water with a non-ethanol gas pump (Palm Gardens).
