In 2023 I explored the path the Santa Fe River takes from the Santa Fe Swamp to River Rise. The swamp is fed by lakes Alto, Santa Fe and Little Lake Santa Fe which lie between Waldo, Keystone Heights and Melrose. These lakes empty into the Santa Fe Swamp, forming the flow that become our Santa Fe River. I produced a short video which you can watch below.
A road trip from the swamp to road crossings along the path of the Santa Fe provided photographic opportunities for the sections up to Worthington Springs. Paddling footage from Worthington Springs to the sink at O’Leno allowed me to complete the virtual journey. The paddling footage was taken within the last five years.
Awareness is the key to understanding the ecosystem of our river. The more we know, the more we can do to participate in being better stewards of our natural world. Join Our Santa Fe River and become part of the good stewardship solution.
