Seventy-five miles of river begins with the rain fed Lakes Santa Fe and Alto, which then flow north through the Santa Fe Swamp. Tributaries such as Sampson, Olustee and New Rivers join in, followed by Worthington and Santa Fe Springs. These sources add to the flow. Follow the path the Santa Fe River takes from the Santa Fe Swamp to River Rise with this short video.
A road trip from the swamp to road crossings along the path of the Santa Fe provided snapshots along the un-navegable sections of the river. An opportunity to paddle from Worthington Springs to Bible Camp came in the form of a flood. Bible Camp to O’Leno completes the virtual journey. These images we pieced together from many trip over many different hydrological conditions.
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.

Thanks for the tour!
Very cool tour – thank you!
There is a severe water shortage going on along the upper Santa Fe. The river is down to a creek as it has barely rained all summer
