Is there a swimming area or just floating down the river?

There is small swimming area. I would recommend the rainbow springs state park for swimming. It is cheaper and there is a bigger swimming area.

There is a swimming area. It is not very large. The water is 72 degrees Fahrenheit. It is cheaper to stay in the park than float the River.

Yes, everytime I go I swim upstream. Its pretty challenging but you can also take a ferry upstream. People kayak, some raft as well.
