FLOODING
Many parts of the Florida Trail can experience sudden flooding after heavy rains. If there is danger of flooding within a segment, it is indicated in the text. Always check ahead regarding river levels along the Kissimmee, Econ, Suwannee, Aucilla, Sopchoppy, and Blackwater Rivers and Econfina and Juniper Creeks. If you find the trail has disappeared under floodwaters, use your best judgment as to whether to continue your hike. Don’t attempt hiking during flood stage along the Suwannee River. In addition to river valleys, swamps become more treacherous after heavy rains or in a wet year. Check with the rangers at Oasis Ranger Station before hiking in Big Cypress National Preserve, and with the USFS regards how deep the water is in Bradwell Bay.
