The Perfect Park to spend the day!
Volleyball courts, expansive pavilions, a crystal-clear natural swimming area, sandy beach, scenic hiking trails, kayaking, delicious eats, signature lemonades, and more await inside this one-of-a-kind park. For family gatherings, reunions, and group events, the Poe Clubhouse offers the perfect setting. AOA’s Group & Adventure Coordinators are standing by to help you plan a seamless and memorable experience.
Poe Springs Park is your Santa Fe River paddling headquarters. We offer full-service canoe, paddleboard, and kayak rentals for Out & Back experiences, scenic downriver adventures, and shuttle services for guests with their own vessels. Poe is the official starting point for our iconic 8 Springs in 8 Miles® downriver paddle. You can also check in at Poe Ramp to board the next shuttle for either our shortest trip, Top Side Ride (2.5 miles), or our longest adventure, Bridge to Bridge (10 miles)—both launching from the Highway 27 ramp.
Walk-ups are always welcome! Reservations are not required but are highly recommended on weekends and holidays.
Give us a call or send us an email to start planning your next unforgettable river Adventure.
