Santa Fe River Preserve
Fueled by dynamic tributaries and over 90 freshwater springs, the Santa Fe River flows east to west into the Suwannee River which finds its way into the Gulf of Mexico. In addition to serving as a recreational backbone for the region and a source of drinking water for all of North Central Florida, this watershed is also vital habitat to many endemic species and other endangered and imperiled species including the Oval Pigtoe, Suwannee Moccasinshell, Wood Stork, Gulf Sturgeon, and the West Indian Manatee.
