Telogia Creek is a waterway located in Florida, USA. It is a big stream that flows into the Ochlockonee River. People often use Telogia Creek for fun activities like canoeing.
Scientists from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) keep an eye on how much water flows in the creek near Bristol. They also check how clean the water is near Greensboro. You can cross the creek on bridges, like the Telogia Creek Bridge.
A long time ago, a scientist named Roland McMillan Harper explored the area around the creek. He found and wrote down information about many different plants there between 1909 and 1910.
Around Telogia Creek, you might see places where horses live. There's also a town called Telogia nearby, a camp for scouts called Telogia Camp, and a road named Telogia Creek Road. A special kind of snake, called the Appalachicola Kingsnake (its scientific name is Lampropeltis getula meansi), lives in this area. Don't worry, it is not venomous, meaning its bite is not harmful.
Exploring Telogia Creek by Boat
If you want to go paddling, you can start your trip from a place called Bently Bluff. From there, the creek flows about 14 miles until it joins the Ochlockonee River. You can finish your paddling trip at Huey P. Arnold County Park.
The creek has many turns, so it can be a bit tricky to paddle. You might need to arrange a ride at the end of your trip (this is called 'shuttling'). Also, be careful of fallen trees or branches in the water, which are called 'snags'. Smaller boats are usually easier to steer along Telogia Creek.
