Approximately an hour and a half drive from Jacksonville, the Oklawaha has been in the news lately with the plans for changing Rodman Dam- Reservoir and the Cross Florida Barge Canal back into the natural state of the river.
Fortunately, large sections of the Oklawaha have been preserved in their original wilderness state, and remain unmarred by the effects of the barge canal.
The Oklawaha flows north over 60 miles to the St. Johns River, and on this section traveling downstream with the four to five knot current makes for a very relaxed trip, great for beginners, or those not interested in strenuous paddling.
