On Yellow River

The Yellow River, once known as the Chester River or the Middle River, starts in Covington County, Alabama. It runs southwest through Okaloosa and Santa Rosa counties in Florida and empties into Blackwater Bay, an arm of Pensacola Bay. Wikipedia gives its length as 118 miles. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission gives it as 92 miles, with 61 of those miles in Florida. The upper river drains the highest ground in Florida, so its current is faster than on most north Florida rivers. Limestone banks upstream give way to sand and gravel banks downstream, and the lower river deepens and slows through cypress and gum swamps. The Shoal River joins it near Crestview.
