The Little Big Econlockhatchee, a river which runs quite close to the edge of Orlando and eventually into the St. John’s River in Florida, is one of the few remaining unspoiled rivers near such a large population center. Its level varies greatly according to rain amounts, and if you’re out early, before the crowds, it’s a beautiful paddle.

They are all beautiful pictures. My favorite is the crane looking majestic in his setting. Thank you for sharing your awesome photographs with us.
Appreciate the kind words!
I paddled this river so many times with FINS courses back in 90-91. So nice to see pictures of this beautiful river. I remember cursing it because back then, it was so low we were unloading our canoes to pull them over and around trees It seemed like every 5 minutes. I didn’t see it for the beautiful river it was. Beautiful pictures!
Well, FINS courses have a way of making it hard to take in all the natural beauty in the moment.
