Low water on Big Escambia Creek

What makes Big Escambia Creek interesting is the area where it spreads out through the cypress swamp. Someone said this was Titi Creek on steriods. Today the water was very low which made things even more interesting.


The first part of the creek is open. Then suddenly the creek goes through a wall of trees.
At first we looked down the right hand route but it had a log jam from the last high water. So we went the longer left hand route.



We helped each other and finally found the creek again just before it flowed into the Escambia River. Then we took a leisurely paddle down to the Hwy4 boat ramp near Century, Florida.
