The one bit of high ground along this stretch of the river. Cache is a bit beyond the camp area on down the trail, somewhat off trail. The late winter tangerines are good.
Coords below are for the nearest ramp, at the end of Trails End road, $2 ramp fee, usually waived for canoes or 'yaks.
A gorgeous hunk of wild Florida, about 6 miles of river here with a tract of State Forest on the east bank, and SWFLWMD lands on the west. Birds, birds, birds: ospreys, eagles, white ibis, great blue herons, limpkins, kingfishers, little blues, glossy ibis, a myriad of songbirds, turtles, gators, otters. What a place. There's so little reliable dry ground in the land between Jumper Creek and the Withlacoochee that where it exists it's called an Island. This is Shell Island, somewhat north of Burnt Island, Cabbage Island and The Wonders. The Wonders! how can you not want to go there?
