Recreation Region: Apalachicola National Forest
Lost Creek
Current Conditions
Please check river levels before going out. Water levels over 4.5 feet should be good paddling.
This small stream presents some of the most challenging canoeing on the Apalachicola National Forest because of the many sharp bends.
Boating -- Non-motorized
- From June through September, Lost Creek is generally at its highest and can be floated with the least occurrence of obstructing logs.
- From October through January, the water is generally too low to float a canoe, except shortly after a hard rain.
- From February through May Lost Creek can be floated, but you will frequently have to lift your canoe over logs.
Check the stream gauge on the upstream side of the Forest Highway 13 Bridge. A reading less than 2.30 feet indicates the creek is impassable; less than 4.50 feet indicates numerous logs will be encountered while over 4.50 feet means good canoeing.
You can reach the put-in point by driving north along the powerline right of way from Forest Highway 13.
