Class I Spruce Creek, FL

Doris Leeper Spruce Creek Preserve Trail

This 16-mile round trip is suitable for beginners. However, if you launch from Spruce Creek Park, make sure you use it only at high tide. Because of deep mud, the ramp is unusable at low tide. Strickland Bay Bridge or Cracker Creek are better options and can be accessed on any tide. The trip is the same distance, regardless of access choice. Note that the Strickland Bay Bridge and Spruce Creek Park are launch sites on the east side of the river where Cracker Creek is located farther upstream and west.
