Put In : Alimacani Fish Camp or A1A Length : 45-60 minutes Difficulty : Easy Nature Stuff : Herons, Pelicans and other bird life. PWC Factor : Low (once in the creek) On the S.E. edge of Ft. George Island is a little creek that runs from the St. Johns River, under A1A to the Ft. George River just behind Alimacani Fish Camp. It's a very short run, depending on how extensively you want to explore. You can put in either at the little park behind Alimacani or at one of the roads that lead from A1A on either side. I've done it both ways and both are good put-ins with hard sandy bottoms. The middle section of the creek that runs along the side of the island can only be accessed at high tide but at high tide you can paddle right up to within a few feet of Ft. George Island Drive. This is also an excellent way to begin a circumnavigation of Ft. George Island - that route is explained here.
