Facts about the St. Johns: It's Florida's longest river and nationally designated as one of 14 American Heritage Rivers. It flows north from it's headwaters, a marsh, in South Florida. There is only a 30 ft. decline in elevation from the headwaters to the mouth at the Atlantic Ocean, making it one of the nation's laziest rivers. It starts as a river of grass, becomes a series of lakes and then a river. In Jacksonville, the river, in places is more than two miles wide. It's an incredible natural resource and one of the reasons we love living here.
