Loxahatchee River: National Wild and Scenic River http://www.rivers.gov/wsr-loxahatchee.html Jonathan Dickinson State Park 16450 Southeast Federal Highway Hobe Sound, Florida 33455 Designated Reach: May 17, 1985. From Riverbend Park downstream to Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Classification/Mileage: Wild 1.3 miles; Scenic 5.8 miles; Recreational 0.5 miles; Total 7.6 miles. This scenic southern river flows through an interesting vegetative landscape which supports a wide range of aquatic and terrestrial fish and wildlife species. The river also provides for an abundance of bird species. ------------------------------------------ Myakka River: State of Florida Wild and Scenic River http://www.myakkariver.net/ Myakka River was declared a Wild and Scenic River by the Florida State Legislature in 1985. ------------------------------------------ Wekiva River: National Wild and Scenic River http://www.rivers.gov/wsr-wekiva.html National Park Service Atlanta Federal Center 1924 Building 100 Alabama Street, SW Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Telephone: (404) 562-3175 x 522 Designated Reach: October 13, 2000. The Wekiva River from its confluence with the St. Johns River to Wekiva Springs. Rock Springs Run from its headwaters at Rock Springs to the confluence with the Wekiwa Springs Run. Black Water Creek from the outflow from Lake Norris to the confluence with the Wekiva River. Classification/Mileage: Wild 31.4 miles; Scenic 2.1 miles; Recreational 8.1 miles; Total 41.6 miles. The Wekiva River Basin is a complex ecological system of rivers, springs, seepage areas, lakes, streams, sinkholes, wetland prairies, hardwood hammocks, pine flatwoods and sand pine scrub communities. Water quality is exhibited in two ways. Several streams are clear due to being spring-fed. Others are blackwater; blackwater streams receive most of their flow from precipitation resulting in annual rainy season over-bank flows. The Wekiva and its tributaries are in superb ecological condition. The basin is almost entirely within Florida State lands and supports many species of plant and animal life, some of which are endangered, threatened, or of special concern. Elevations range from sea level to about 35 feet above sea level. The climate is subtropical, with an average annual temperature of around 72 degrees. Mean annual rainfall over the Wekiva basin is 52 inches, most of which occurs during the June-October rainy season. ------------------------------------------ Wild & Scenic Study Rivers Study Status (As of January 2010) http://www.rivers.gov/study.html The number of rivers included in the National System differs from the number of rivers authorized for study by Congress for the following reasons: * Not all rivers studied are found eligible or suitable for designation, many study rivers will not be included in the National System. * Some rivers are designated by Congress or the Secretary of the Interior without a pre-authorization or 5(a) study (e.g., the Niobrara). * Some rivers are designated through recommendations prepared in federal agency planning processes (e.g., 40 rivers designated in Oregon in 1988). I. Public Law 90-542 (October 2, 1968) 27 rivers, studies due October 2, 1978 (25) Suwannee, Florida and Georgia. (BOR) Report transmitted to Congress on March 15, 1974. Preservation of river by state recommended. (272 miles) V. Public Law 95-625 (November 10, 1978) 17 rivers, studies due October 1, 1984 (60) Loxahatchee, Florida. (NPS) Seven point five miles added to the National System by the Secretary of the Interior on May 17, 1985. (25 miles) (70) Myakka, Florida. (NPS) Report transmitted to Congress on April 26, 1985. Preservation of river by state recommended. (37 miles) XVIII. Public Law 101-364 (August 15, 1990) 1 river, study due August 15, 1993 (108) St. Marys, Florida. (NPS) Draft report issued on March 16, 1994. River was determined eligible, but final report not transmitted to Congress. (120 miles) XXXI. Public Law 104-311 (October 19, 1996) 1 river, study due October 19, 1998 (136) Wekiva, Florida. (NPS) Forty-one point six miles added to the National System, Public Law 106-299, October 13, 2000.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist. Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials. A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.
