Drayton Island is a private island (only accessible by boat*) on Lake George and the St. John's River in North Central Florida, home of the manatee and crystal clear fresh water springs and part of the historical "Bartram Trail". We are on 6 secluded, jungle acres with 12 more additional available for exploring. We have a canoe and a pontoon boat that seats 8 people available for guided charter. You can explore the shoreline, find hidden canals or be at one of our crystal clear, freshwater springs in about 15 minutes. Enjoy stunning sunrises from our private dock, watch the wildlife from anywhere on the property. NO CLEANING FEES :) *private water taxi may be available for $60 round trip. If you need a water taxi please inquire in regards to availability before booking. After sundown and late night pick ups will incur a surcharge. See EXTRAS .Located on the south end of the historic and private island, Drayton Island is part of the Bartram Trail and is 15 minutes by boat from Silver Glen Springs and Salt Springs run. The cabin was originally the 'cook house' for the main house which was built by a gentleman from New Jersey in 1890 who arrived and departed by steam ship. The view from the cabin is an open field and jungle with over 15 private acres for hiking, a private dock for fishing and over 7 miles of dirt road for bike riding, walking or running. We also have a 17 foot Grumman canoe available for paddling around the island. As for wild life we have plenty: wild turkey, deer, a myriad of birdlife, alligators, snakes...and even bear so please know your nature manners and if you don't please ask.
