There is where the Ocklawaha River meets Silver River. The Ocklawaha River is dark and murky while the Silver River is fresh and clear which creates the divide.

My SOLO paddle from Gores Landing … Ocklawaha River flows 74 miles from Lake Griffin in Lake County to the St. Johns River, and is one of the few rivers in the U.S. flowing south to north. The Ocklawaha is one of the most natural and beautiful waterways in Florida, its center section forming the western and northern boundaries of the Ocala National Forest. The Silver River flows into the Ocklawaha near Ray Wayside Park; the influx of water from the first-magnitude Silver Spring changes the flow

Kayaking to the forgotten Eureka West Lock and Dam on the Ocklawaha River feels like drifting into a lost chapter of Florida history. Massive concrete walls rise from the tannin-dark water, relics of the abandoned Cross-Florida Barge Canal. Silent, unfinished, and slowly reclaimed by the swamp, the lock stands as a monument to a plan that never came to be. Gliding past it in a kayak feels like brushing against a ghost of American engineering. #EurekaWestLock #OcklawahaRiver #CrossFloridaBargeCan
