On our Ocala National Forest kayak trip, we  floated down through the lovely
swampy forests of the Ochlawaha River, paddled under a sky high bridge out in
the middle of nowhere, paddled around a bend where the river grew wider,
and...  there they were:





The Eureka Lock and Dam .  They don't open or close, they are abandoned and
just...SIT THERE.   I thought you would enjoy the surprise, too.
