Econ: 419 Bridge To Snowhill Road





We're going to kayak The Excellent Econ River from 419 Bridge to Snowhill Road. Kayak an 8 mile downstream section of the undeveloped Econlockhatchee River from CR 419 in Oviedo to Snowhill Rd. One of Florida's Designated Paddling Trails. Tannin waters, sandy bottom and sand bars on the banks. Some nice twisty and winding turns.  Eagles nest and more. A pleasant 8 mile downstream wilderness paddle.
The Econ River is a great place to spend the day canoeing, picnicking and splashing around in the water. But residents claim that this little river has a much more sinister side. Allegedly occurring every October 13, the spirit of Christopher Klink appears hanging from under the bridge. A bright light will flash just before his apparition emerges and the river will begin to flow backwards. Fact or Fiction? It is for you to decide...
Meet at Snowhill Bridge by 9:00am, we will do a reverse buddy shuttle back to Hwy 419.
