WATER BODY: Suwannee River

DESCRIPTION: About 2/3 of a mile up the East Fork Suwannee River from where the Middle Fork turns off, put in at some wood steps to see remnants of a logging operation and a cemetery.
HISTORIC FACTS: Native Americans long lived in the Land of the Trembling Earth. During the Seminole Wars in the early nineteenth century, Billy Bowlegs was the leader of a party of Indians, escaped slaves, and AWOL soldiers who used Billys Island as a base. By 1838, the U.S. Army had taken over the island. In the 1850s the Lee family moved to the island, farming, fishing, hunting, and foraging. The Georgia land sale of the entire swamp in 1889 to the Suwannee Canal Company did not disturb the Lees. Once that failed, the Hebard family bought he Swamp in 1901 and started logging all the cypress in the swamp and pine trees on the islands they could get. The island briefly boombed with movies, a church, and whisky stills. The Lees sued, lost, and left. The loggers left in 1926 and the Lees returned. The U.S. purchased the Swamp in 1937. Persuaded by scientific research since 1912 and especially naturalist Francis Lee, President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge by executive order in 1937.

Suwannee River Sill @ Suwannee River Sill Road

LAYER: Point of Interest
OWNERSHIP: Public, USFWS

WATER BODY: Suwannee River
GAUGE: SCFSP
MILE: 240.28
ADDRESS: From Fargo, travel south on US 441 to GA 177; turn left and travel towards Stephen C. Foster State Park. Go 11.2 miles and turn left on Suwannee River Sill. Ware, Charlton Counties.
DESCRIPTION: A dam on the Suwannee River below the Okefenokee Swamp, with its gates always open. It was intended to keep the water level in the Swamp up, but it failed to do so, and that turned out to be a bad idea for the ecology. For example, cypress trees can only grow from seed when the water is down.
HISTORIC FACTS: Built by the federal government in 1960, this five-mile-long dirt dam was intended to keep water in the Swamp during droughts, because of wildfires in the 1950s. It didn’t work: it only affected about one percent of the Swamp. In 1998 U.S. FWS concluded that the Sill should be breached and its gates removed. Meanwhile, the structure is popular as an access road to the Suwannee River and the Okefenokee Swamp, and there is resistance to it being completely removed. Meanwhile, its gates (flow outlets) are always open.

DESCRIPTION: According to Ken Sulak, a 1911 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers map shows an “”Old Ferry”” at this site.
HISTORIC FACTS: According to Ken Sulak, “”The USACE Suwannee River survey was undertaken in Nov 1911 under lead of Capt. Slattery. This took place at the end of a record high water year, the 1911 flood just about a foot less at crest than the all time 1948 flood. The 1911 flood followed the great hurricane of 17 October 1910 that devastated South Florida. Again in 1912 there was high water in the Suwannee. The USACE survey was excellent, resulting in a three page map in folio format. There is a copy in that full large format map in the UF Smathers Library Special Collections. Capt. Slattery’s report to Congress has been lost from National Archives. But map is accurate and detailed. It marks and labels the ˜Highway Bridge’ and the ˜Old Ferry’ near present-day Bethel and Rawls landings.””

Blount’s Ferry
CATEGORIES: Ferry
LAYER: Bridge
OWNERSHIP: Public
WATER BODY: Suwannee River
GAUGE: Fargo
MILE: 204.82
ADDRESS: About a mile downstream from the GA-FL line. Columbia, Hamilton Counties.
DESCRIPTION: Site of a ferry dating from before 1844, probably from at least 1835. “”Blounts Ferry was located in the extreme northwestern part of the county on the Suwannee River near the Georgia state line. Troops camped on this site during the Second Seminole War. Blounts Ferry was thirty miles from Lake City and had about one hundred and sixty people during the mid 1880’s. It had two stores, a saw mill, a grist mill, and a cotton gin. Epanimondas Brown and W. W. King were two of the well-known residents of Blounts Ferry.”” A History of Columbia County Florida (1996) Edward F. Keuchel, page 174.
HISTORIC FACTS: “”County Road 131 was originally known as Blount’s Ferry Road. It was the main connection between Lake City and Blount’s Ferry, a major agricultural town located on the Suwannee River, just south of the Georgia border. In the 1880s, Bount’s Ferry was a settlement of 160 people with two stores, sawmill, cotton gin and grist mill. This road was first paved in 1950, at which time the original steel truss bridge with wooden plank floor, which crossed Falling Creek, was replaced by a concrete bridge. At this time, the road designation was changed to County Road 131. The newly paved road was 133′ east of the original road which meant church property no longer touched the road. Church trustees acquired two small parcels abutting the paved road from the Estate of Mary J. Rivers and from the Columbia County School Board.”” –Nomination of Falling Creek United Methodist Church for National Register of Historic Places, 1996-03-05 https://npgallery.nps.gov/GetAsset/a808a5c1-7cc6-48c5-9439-c02581337736/

ADDRESS: From Lake City, travel north on US 441 to NW Cone Bridge Road; turn left and follow road to ramp. Hamilton, Columbia Counties.
DESCRIPTION: Originally a timber wagon bridge built in 1881, “”Cone Bridge was rebuilt on Lally columns (the toppled columns still remain along the end of Cone Bridge Road) as a steel through-strut single-lane, wooden plank decked bridge—probably in 1898 or a bit later. It was built by Andrew Cone Godwin 1865-1942 for William Haddock Cone—who was elderly by then. That bridge was damaged by an overloaded truck in 1970, avoiding the main road checkpoint, and was dismantled thereafter.”” –Ken Sulak https://wwals.net/?p=54537

DESCRIPTION: A sand beach and stairs next to a sulfur spring with a stone spring wall.
HISTORIC FACTS: “”Suwannee Springs was one of Florida’s original tourist destinations. The spring pool was enclosed in the late 1800s to create a bathing area for a resort hotel, which used to be located nearby. People came from all around the east coast to partake of the “healing sulfur waters†which were rumored to cure everything from gout to marital problems. From the civil war to the 1920s the site had a succession of four wooden hotels, a bathhouse, and many private cottages. A special spur railroad line was established just to take the tourists to the springs. The last hotel burned in 1925 and with the decline of the railroads the resort faded away. Today the springhouse and some private cabins on adjacent property are all that is left of the site.”” https://visitsuwannee.com/live-oak/suwannee-springs

ADDRESS: Halfway between Gibson Park Ramp and the Alapaha River Confluence. Hamilton, Suwannee Counties.
DESCRIPTION: “”In 1842, Soloman Zipperer and John Martin Zipperer Jr. got a license to operate a ferry across the Suwannee River at what is now called Nobles Ferry (Gibson Park). Soloman died in 1864, and in 1860 his sister Elizabeth (‘Hester’) Zipperer and William J. J. Duncan obtained a license to build a toll bridge to replace the ferry. Eventually, the toll bridge collapsed and was replaced in 1880 by a new ferry at the same site, operated I think by William P. Nobles, a resident of Live Oak. That ferry ran until 1912 when it was replaced by the old steel truss, single lane Nobles Ferry Bridge. It collapsed under the weight of an illegally-crossing turpentine truck in 1968, and was not replaced by the existing open deck bridge until 1984. The approach road to the ferry landing winds down the south (east) bank and is still evident. Atop the bank is a large oak with a ring scar where the ferry cable was moored. The ferry crossed the Suwannee, landing on either side of the mouth of the Alapaha (east actually landing up into the Alapaha). There were roads down from both sides.”” –Ken Sulak https://wwals.net/?p=57296

OWNERSHIP: Public
WATER BODY: Suwannee River
MILE: 93.68
ADDRESS: Three quarters of a mile upstream from Hardenbergh Ramp, and 4 1/2 miles downstream from Hal W. Adams Bridge Ramp. 154 Trestle Dr NE, Mayo, FL 32066. Suwannee, Lafayette Counties.
DESCRIPTION: A railroad hand-turned swing bridge of the former Suwannee & San Pedro Railroad line, now perpetually askew in the middle of the Suwannee River. “”This railroad bridge was reportedly moved here from Brazil and put into service at this location around 1901, and abandoned in 1920.”” –Historic Bridges https://historicbridges.org/bridges/browser/?bridgebrowser=florida/drewbridge/
HISTORIC FACTS: “”The bridge and the railroad it served has connections to Florida’s governor (from 1877-1881) George Franklin Drew and his sons George L. Drew and Franklin Drew. George Franklin Drew also created a logging company called the Drew Lumber Company, which was operated along with his son George L. Drew. In 1899, the lumber company found need for a railroad to haul their materials, and they ended up buying the Suwannee and San Pedro Railroad, and extended it so that it would cross the Suwannee River. They took over the railroad’s charter in July 1, 1899 and only 20 days later amended it to extend the link to places like Mayo, FL. This new, extended route needed a Suwannee River bridge. George L. Drew died in September 27, 1900, and Franklin Drew and George L. Drew took the lead in the railroad endeavor as a result. They had purchased a bridge for $15, 500, which reportedly came from Brazil, which was barged into this location to serve their new section of railroad line. Reportedly, the eastern approach grading work was completed by May 8, 1901. It is thus assumed the bridge was installed around this time. The Suwannee and San Pedro Railroad was merged with some other railroad companies into the Florida Railway in 1905. The railway did not last, partially due to completion from other railroads, and from 1918-1921 the railroad was dismantled. The bridge however was not scrapped out, and instead in 1920, Suwannee and Lafayette Counties purchased the bridge for potential use as a highway bridge. This apparently never panned out, and the bridge has remained standing abandoned in the open position to this day.”” https://historicbridges.org/bridges/browser/?bridgebrowser=florida/drewbridge/

HISTORIC FACTS: 15, 000 gallons of raw sewage on July 7, 2021, and before: “”On June 26, 2021 we started receiving heavy rain. At around 2:48 p.m. the influent well at the Starke WWTF reached it’s high level alarm and on call operator responded to SCADA call out alarm. Upon arrival Operator observed the influent wet well was a max compacity and back up generator was on and running. We also had power failures and other alarms of equipment. On of the three influent pumps was tripped out. The operator reset the VFD for the influent pump and it started up. The operator also checked the effluent out fall to Alligator Creek and the creek had rose to above the effluent outfall cause a backup in the plant effluent treatment system. The effluent pump was not enough to keep up with the flow coming thru the plant with the excessive rain. The operator took all necessary actions to prevent this spill for occurring with equipment the city has. We calculated a spill volume of 45, 000 gallons and 20, 000 of that went into Alligator Creek. We received 2.38″” of rain and a total of 7.71″” of rain fall for the week of June 21 thru June 26, 2021.””

This led to the eventual demise of the town, and by 1896, everyone had moved away.”” In 1935 the state purchased the site for a Florida Forest Service camp. “”In July 1935, the Civilian Conservation Corps installed workers from Company 418. Camp P-67, to assist Works Progress Administration (WPA) workers at O’Leno…. Camp O’Leno opened in 1938 as a Florida Forest Service training camp…. Opened as a state park in 1940, O’Leno State Park became one of the original nine state parks in the Florida Park Service.”” https://www.floridastateparks.org/parks-and-trails/oleno-state-park/history
