Try the Econfina Creek Canoe Livery in Youngstown, FL. We went there and canoed two years ago. Nice canoe trip. You stop at the first bridge, which is 7 miles. There are 6 or 7 springs off to the side for viewing. Two older women came down to where we were being picked up on kayaks. They had their truck parked at the pick up point. Calm water, have to maneuver around a tree or two which is challenging. Great place.

We did this several years ago and it was beautiful, did not see any gators dka! chomp chomp!! But I agree with SJ and Mermaid, that don't want to eat ya!! I have only known of problem gators on Eastern Lake and they were 2-3 feet, aggressive teenagers!!:roll:
