The Mysterious Blackwater Creek

The Blackwater is for those who enjoy more adventure and love wilderness. The creek flows through an ancient, prehistoric, cypress swamp. Expect to encounter otters, alligators, wading birds, owls, and occasionally bear. See Florida as it used to be, raw, natural, unspoiled. The Blackwater Creek is for those paddlers who enjoy a bit more adventure and love serious wilderness. Paddle this creek as it creek flows through an ancient, maybe prehistoric, cypress swamp with stunning tannic waters and Pond Cypress with enormous roots that twist and turn distinctively. Depending on the time of year, at the lake you’ll see egrets in a large rookery, Florida orchids growing on the cypress trees, a large concentration of Osprey, other wildlife and breathtaking scenery. Truly an off-the-beaten-path adventure.
