Take a closer look at this nautical chart of the St. Johns River entrance, where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean. 🗺️🌊
Stretching 310 miles, the St. Johns is Florida’s longest river — and one of only a handful in the United States that flows north instead of south. ✅
It’s a vital waterway for wildlife, navigation, recreation, and the communities that depend on it.
From its headwaters in Indian River County to its mouth near Jacksonville, the St. Johns River plays an essential role in Florida’s history, economy, and ecology. 💖
