On Choctawhatchee River
The Choctawhatchee River flows through southeast Alabama and the Florida Panhandle and empties into Choctawhatchee Bay in Okaloosa and Walton counties. Wikipedia gives its length as 141 miles. Florida's state paddling guide gives 170 miles, about 88 of them in Florida. The FWC says the river runs roughly 96 miles from the Alabama line to the bay. In Florida it crosses Holmes, Washington, Walton and Bay counties. Its tributaries there include Holmes, Wright, Sandy, Pine Log, Seven Runs and Bruce creeks. By the volume of water it discharges, it is Florida's third-largest river system, and it supplies 90 percent of the fresh water in Choctawhatchee Bay. The Choctawhatchee River Wildlife Management Area covers more than 57,000 acres along over 30 miles of the river. The FWC manages it together with the Northwest Florida Water Management District.
