BLUEWAYS ELEMENT View From the South US 98 Bridge Launch Wakulla River Park Page 63 BLUEWAYS ELEMENT St. Marks River Recommendations The St. Marks River is currently not designated as a Florida Paddling Trail. Designating the St. Marks River as a Florida Paddling Trail would: • Bring public recognition to the blueway • Permit FDEP, as resources allow, to enter into management, patrol and protection agreements, and into leases if so stipulated in the designation agreement • Encourage FDEP to identify sources of funding for management and restoration needs • Give private landowners some liability protection • Give the blueway additional consideration in certain public land acquisition and grant programs, such as the Florida Communities Trust Land Acquisition Program, the Recreational Trails Grant Program, and the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program For a blueway to be designated as a Florida Paddling Trail, a government or a not-for-profit entity must agree to manage the blueway and apply for designation. Applications for designation are available from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Office of Greenways and Trail. Launch sites for the St. Marks River are located at Newport Campground and at the St. Marks River Park in the City of St. Marks. Wooden slat dry launches could be installed or unimproved natural launch areas could be designated for canoes and kayaks to help avoid conflicts between paddlers and motor boaters at the paved launch locations.

The access points are located at the Oak Park Cemetery Bridge, Mount Beasor Church Bridge, Sopchoppy River Paddling Trail Map 1 Myron B. Hodge City Park, and US 319 Bridge. These locations can be seen in Figure 27.

Hodges Park Access Point Page 67 BLUEWAYS ELEMENT Launch Area The access point at the US 319 bridge has no formal parking area and no amenities. The site is located down an unimproved road that could limit the ability of some people to access the launch area. For this site, the access road leading to the launch site would need to cleared and widened to allow for cars to pass each other safely. Due to the small size of the area, parking is an issue, though cars could potentially parallel park along the access road. At this launch site there is a short, steep slope to access the water. Because there are loose roots and other impediments on the launch site, it is recommended that the roots be cleared and the area leveled. The launch could optionally be covered with synthetic matting so that users have a safe way to access the water. In addition to this, basic amenities such as trash cans and a sitting area should be provided to make the site more attractive and user friendly. This location offers access to a beautiful, wide portion of the Sopchoppy River and would be an ideal location to enhance the amenities.

Introduction From traditional fishing communities to wild stretches of shoreline, tidal creeks and rivers, this segment is one where paddlers can steep themselves in “Old Florida.” This is also the only segment where paddlers can follow two scenic rivers for a significant distance: the Crooked and Ochlockonee rivers. The Crooked River is the only area along the trail where paddlers have a good chance of spotting a Florida black bear. Several hundred black bears roam the Tate’s Hell/Apalachicola National Forest area, one of six major black bear havens in the state. Florida black bears are protected under Florida law. Keep food and garbage tightly packed and hanging in a bag from a tree branch at least ten feet off the ground. In paddling the Crooked River paddlers will enjoy a slice of the untrammeled 200,000- plus-acre Tate's Hell State Forest. This scenic route also features Ochlockonee River State Park where there is a full-service campground a short distance from the water. For camping reservations, visit Reserve America or call (800) 326-3521.

This report meets the Federal Clean Water Act reporting requirements; more importantly, it presents a comprehensive analysis of the quality of our waters. This report would not be possible without the monitoring efforts of organizations throughout the state, including state and local governments, universities, and volunteer groups who agree that our waters are a central part of our state’s culture, heritage, and way of life. In Florida, monitoring efforts at all levels result in substantially more monitoring stations and water quality data than most other states in the nation. These water quality data are used annually for the assessment of waterbody health by means of a comprehensive approach. Hundreds of assessments of individual waterbodies are conducted each year. Additionally, as part of this report, a statewide water quality condition is presented using an unbiased random monitoring design. These efforts allow us to understand the state’s water conditions, make decisions that further enhance our waterways, and focus our efforts on addressing problems.
