The St. Francis Dead
River Run traverses the
river of the same name,
which is a major tributary
of the St. Johns River.
The trail passes the ghost
town of St. Francis, also
formerly known as “Old
Town.” St. Francis was
located about 20 miles
south of Astor. Paddlers
can see where the town
used to be as pilings in
the water indicate where
a grand motel stood on
the shores of the river. - Lake County Blueway Trail System
