Lake Harney is 3 miles across. The St Johns River winds its way north to Jacksonville, FL. There are two wonderful kayak and canoe rivers. Little Econ is a wandering natural waterway bordered by oak and pine. Deep Creek is bordered by picturesque cypress. Both of these rivers extend more than 5 miles making for a wonderful day on the river.
