Aucilla River Canoe Trail

Officially designated as part of Florida's Statewide System of Greenways and Trails, the dark, coffee-colored waters of the 19.0 mile long Aucilla River Canoe Trail swiftly course over shoals and the remains of two old rock dams. With high limestone banks framing the trail, the river flows through cypress-gum swamps. With an intermediate to technical skill level and a difficulty rating of moderate to strenuous, the Aucilla River Canoe Trail is not recommended for inexperienced paddlers. Rapids become more numerous and hazardous in low water.

1. US27 Bridge, one mile southwest of Lamont.
