Yes you rcan run any where you want to on the Santa Fe I have ran from the mouth at sandy point north to were it runs under ground it gets rocky in some spots but from poe spring to blue to ginnie and past is pretty riden you will prob want to put in at 47 bridge and head up river to ginnie. Give me a shout if you do I live 3 min from there.

There is no Airboat restrictions on the Santa Fe river. I've had mine on it more times than I can count. Much farther south than Ginnie springs though. I'm normally not north of the Ichetucknee river.

Yep, the Santa Fe, sharp, knife edged flint rocks are hidden in the grassey shallow rapid areas, will slice fiberglass like butter, (experience, many years ago). Canoers, cryakers think they own it. Should still be fun to run from US441, 41 north to sink, (like Bowhunter said), you will see some big ass gars, should have a gar gigging, can ya imagine how much fish a 4 or 5ft gar eats a day?
