Econfina Creek is a beautiful scenic wonder that was produced by natural cold springs thousands of years ago.  Take a trip through these crystal clear waters and enjoy the beauty of nature!  There are 11 named springs and over 36 vents along the creek.  This creek flows through multiple counties then to Deer Point Lake Reservoir in Bay County, Florida.  This creek produces over 600 million gallons of water a day which provides fresh water for Panama City, Panama City Beach and the surrounding areas.

     A portion of the Florida Scenic Trail (19 miles) runs along the creek from Scott Road at Hwy 231 down to State Hwy 20.

     This creek has over 24 miles of paddling but in 2018 Hurricane Michael  blocked the first 18 miles of the upper and middle creek with debris.  NWF Water Management was able to clear enough debris manually to get another 7 miles upcreek to Walsingham Bridge.

     There is still debris and some obstacles and the creek is constantly moving.  It is something new each time. They are now working to permit and clear the next 11 miles to Scott Road so we can enjoy all that Econfina Creek has to offer!   If you want to paddle and have an adventure then come with us UP THE CREEK!
