Fisheating Creek

The creek meanders through miles of cypress forest and prairie. During the trip you can hear owls and various species of birds. Alligators are frequently seen resting on logs or on the banks soaking that warm Florida sun. At times the cypress is very dense muting the bright sunlight. At other times it opens up and the sunlight illuminates the tannin water to a brilliant brown. Fisheating Creek is one of the prettiest streams in Florida. Tea-colored water journeys swiftly through thick cypress swamps and beside hardwood hammocks only to open into small lakes where wildlife abounds.
