With an average current of 2-3 mph, and an average year round temperature of 68 degrees, the Blackwater River is a good choice for both seasoned and first time canoeists, kayakers, or tubers. As an added bonus, Florida's mild climate makes this river enjoyable for any time of year.

Located in the Blackwater State Forest just east of Pensacola and Milton, the Blackwater River is designated a Florida Canoe Trail. The navigable portion of Blackwater stretches 31 miles, although there are several access points available which allows for variations in the length of the trip. Have a picnic lunch on any of the numerous sandbars, or plan a longer trip and enjoy camping on them.

Land of Black Water

Along the river, expect to experience nature at its finest without houses or stores to spoil the view. The water itself is a tannic color that contrasts vividly against the white sandbars. Blackwater is a translation of the Creek word, "oka-lusa," meaning "water black." The leaves from the numerous Atlantic white cedars, water oak, and long-leaf pine trees that line the riverbank are what contribute to the color of the water.
