Is the Santa Fe clear?

Hey Gang, Does anyone know if the Santa Fe River is clear. My canoe is in need of an outing. Cindy :D

Cindy,
The Santa Fe from the 27 bridge down is clearing but is still the typical "tea brown" color...5' viz. It will need a few more dry months to get to the clear green stage with the 20-30' viz conditions.

We boated the Santa Fe from the Ichetucknee to the Suwannee all brown, but it is starting to drop, some of the springs like Rock Bluff is clear, really pumping...

I think Big Awesome has the worst flow, then Anderson.
We were on the river last night Santa Fe is very dark yet, Icetucknee is all clear, wasn't near any river springs.
