Nice paddle on Trout Creek in St. Johns County

On Saturday I joined some folks with the Northeast Florida Sierra Club for a short paddle on Trout Creek in northwest St. Johns County.   We launched from the boat ramp in the county's Trout Creek Park.  (Located at State Road 13 North at 6795 Collier Road, this park also has a pavilion, playground, picnic tables, rest rooms and plenty of parking.)  Temperatures were in the low 60s but it was clear and sunny.

We kayaked upstream about an hour then had to turn around since the water level was getting low.  Some people then kayaked west into the St. Johns River.  I joined the others for a delicious lunch at Outback Crab Shack.  8155 County Road 13 N Saint Augustine · (904) 522-0500
