Turnbull Creek in Shiloh Swamp This is one of my favorite photos, simply for the reason that it's of one of my favorite spots to be. It's only about a one mile paddle or so from the put in, but it's far enough from the launch point on US Highway 1 in Volusia County to give you the feeling of complete solitude. When paddling North on Turnbul Creek, which is sometimes almost as narrow as your canoe, it suddenly opens into this beautiful little pond out in the middle of Shiloh Swamp. You hear no cars, or any other sound of civilization, only birds hidden in the trees. You see no signs that there's anyone within a hundread miles. You have the world to yourself in this beautiful aqatic "Garden of Eden". Return to Gallery |
