Withlacoochee
 
"With headwaters in the Green Swamp in northern Polk County, the Withlachoochee meanders 156 miles north and west, eventually flowing into the Gulf of Mexico near the picturesque community of Yankeetown. Many of the lands bordering lengthy stretches of the Withlacoochee are privately owned, thus giving it a remoteness and sense of inaccessibility. Canoes afford the most practical and scenic mode to view and explore the comely waterway. "
