Olena State Park Florida

This is a CCC park built in the 30's. The nearest town is High Springs. The park protects an unusual stretch of the Santa Fe river. This is a big river. It goes underground for 3 miles and when it resurfaces it's bigger than it was when it went underground. We can hike to where it disappears. We will try to do that while we are here. The place where it resurfaces is called River Rise preserve. We will paddle a stretch of the river tomorrow. Hopefully we won't get sucked under.
