About the econlockhatchee river
The Econlockhatchee River is a 54-mile-long river located in Central Florida. The river has a rich history with Native American tribes and was first mapped by Spanish explorers in the 16th century. The river's hydrology is characterized by a slow-moving current and a mix of freshwater and saltwater. There are several reservoirs and dams along the river, including the Lake Pickett Dam and the Lake Mills Dam, which serve as sources of freshwater for the surrounding agricultural lands. The river is also a popular destination for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping. Additionally, the river's watershed is home to several endangered species, including the Florida manatee and the bald eagle.
