I hike this trail often. Last year the water was the highest I have ever seen it, the river is about 50 yards from where this image is taken and I am knee deep in black water already. The crazy thing is, this is how flooded this area was in September - before Hurricane Ian came through. After Ian, this entire area was closed to flooding. The river flowed over not only the entire park but major streets and neighborhoods around central Florida.
