That's what the Creek Indians called the river we'll be canoeing this Saturday. I didn't know that, but now the name "Okaloosa" makes sense (I knew it was some kind of Indian word).

White sand beaches (only river in America with a sand-bottom as white as the beaches in Destin), cool water (it's dark, but see-through - it's not exactly "black"), nice foliage, and good fellowship & fun! Are you excited?! Are you going?!

Haven't been in a few years. Our church used to make a trip out there annually. We used Blackwater Canoe Rental for our logistics prep and execution, and I think that's who we're using this time. It's a 3-hour journey, but we usually stop enough along the way to make it around 4 or 5 hours long.
