FSU Hydrology Students Explore Lake Jackson

Lake Jackson Aquatic Preserve recently hosted a Florida State University hydrology class for a guided canoe and kayak trip from Sunset Boat Landing to Lime Sink. Although many people assume the lake has gone completely dry, there is still plenty of water to explore by paddle! During the trip, LJAP staff talked about Lake Jackson's history, natural dry-down cycles, and ecology. Along the way, students learned about the plants and animals that live in the lake and how its changing water levels shape the ecosystem. The trip provided an opportunity for students to experience Lake Jackson firsthand and gain a better understanding of the unique natural processes that make the lake such a special place.
