GPAX - Thanks for the photos, trip report and reminder about the Eglin permit necessary to paddle this section of river. I always enjoy seeing reports about my old stomping grounds in NW FLA.

I have never paddled the Panhandle, but there are bluffs in Central Florida. East central, that is. The Econlochatachee River and Turkey Creek, for example. There may even be photos on the Forum.

And another new location for NW FLA. You go! As much as I like paddling in the central part of the state, I do miss the high riverside bluffs that are found between Tallahassee and Pensacola.
