| That was a great paddle with Brian and Andrew. It was the first spring paddle this year when all the hardwood trees had new, green leaves, and the reflection in the river made the river look green. The Chipola is primarily an alluvial stream, although it is fed by over 60 springs, so is only clear after weeks of no rain. |

Another Jackson County paddler posting on the Greenwave. Way to go, Dcoy! That is a nice stretch of river to paddle, and the springs are worth seeing. |

No, I wasn't joking about the Dolomite mines just a few hundred yards from the river. They did have a pond, and a yellow barrier to prevent the run-off from contaminating the river, and the run-off looked as clear as spring water. But the cows wading in the river, and the run-off from the two pastures isn't all that great for water quality, and the water being pumped for irrigation purposes is illegal. There is very little enforcement of sound environmental practices in this area.

Bird pictures, I knew you could do it.
Please tell me you are kidding about the source being a mining operation.

Fun place to explore with 3 springs about 1 mile up river from the Florida State Caverns State Park canoe launch. Also it's well worth the $8 to tour the caverns. |
