Loughman Lake Airboat Rides

6 mile creek to salt lake amlost to loughman lake, to shallow

not very eventful, but posting for anyone who has ever driven down state road 46 in mims florida, and wonder what's out there from that little boat ramp. this is mostly airboat country. so the video is sped up, because I had to idle most of the way because most of this area is 6 inches to 1 1/2 foot to mud and some sand. because it was so shallow, I could not get to loughman lake and beyond. this is the little boat ramp in mims, a little west of u.s.1, on the north side of s.r. 46 out in the middle of nowhere.

Buck Lake Walk

Buck Lake Conservation Area
The Buck Lake tract consists of natural woodlands and wetlands that have been used historically for pine and hardwood timber production and cattle ranching. The ridge found in the eastern part of the property supports scrubby flatwoods and oak hammock that provide appropriate habitat for scrub jays. A basin swamp community dominates the eastern third of the property. This swamp and depression marsh receive surface water runoff from adjacent uplands and discharge into a wet prairie that makes up the headwaters of Six Mile Creek. This creek runs southward to Salt Lake, Loughman Lake and eventually to the St. Johns River. The western portion of the property features a large floodplain marsh and a marsh lake, Buck Lake. The property protects regionally significant habitat for several plant and animal species and provides floodwater retention to slow downstream flooding.
