Supplements: The St. John's River is the longest river in Florida with 310 miles of rare, north flowing spring fed fresh water. This property is located directly across from 387,000 acres of the Ocala national forest and just north of approx. 2,300 acres of the Welaka State Forest. The Ocklawaha River and natural springs such as Silver Glen and Salt Springs are also just a short boat ride away. Welaka is a quaint town that has convenient access to St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Gainesville and Daytona. It's known as a golf cart community with gravel paths canopied with live oaks. It is home to entrepreneurs, artists, veterans, and even world-class outfitter brands, which is fitting considering the river is known as the Bass Fishing Capital of the world and Welaka means river of lakes.
