waccasassa river

The river is located about 30 miles of of I-75 in Gainesville on SR 24. It's easy to miss if you're not looking for it. Narrow and shallow it is a challenge, but a pleasure, to canoe. Not possible on my recent visit as drought conditions have made this waterway all but impossible to navigate. Good hike, though. Take a walking stick and you'll probably encounter deer, armadillos, raccoons and warterfowl. Park on the SE side of the bridge and good luck!
