Telogia Creek is a waterway in Florida. It is a major tributary of the Ochlockonee River. [1] It is used for canoeing. [2] The United States Geological Survey (USGS) monitors its discharge near Bristol. [3] The stream's water quality is monitored at a site near Greensboro.

<i>Lampropeltis getula meansi</i> subspecies of reptile

The Apalachicola Kingsnake is a non-venomous species of kingsnake found in a small area of the Florida panhandle known as the Apalachicola Lowlands. Long argued as to whether or not it is a sub-species, the Apalachicola Kingsnake was formerly named Lampropeltis getula goini. After years of research and many more specimens examined, in 2006 it was renamed to Lampropeltis getula meansi after D. Bruce Means, in recognition of his work on this species.

Paddling

The creek can be accessed from the Bently Bluff ramp. Approximately 14 miles downstream (7 miles as the crow flies) it meets up with the Ochlockonee River. Huey P. Arnold County Park can be used as a takeout spot. [2]

The creek is windy, shuttling is necessary and there can be snags. Shorter warter craft are easier to maneuver along it. [2]
