Waterways

Convenient access to water, both fresh and salt, is the primary reason the city of Jacksonville exists where it does. The first European explorers to happen upon Northeast Florida sailed into the St. Johns River looking for safe harbor. And early settlers used the mighty river as a source for food as well as a watery passageway to venture deep into Florida’s untamed interior. Today, the St. Johns and the dozens of creeks and small rivers that flow into it are enjoyed by thousands of boaters and fishermen each day.
