Bartram Trail
Follow William Bartram's 1770s route along the St. Johns River through Welaka, Georgetown and Crescent City, by boat, on foot or on horseback.
Crescent City
Crescent City sits between Crescent Lake and Lake Stella, about fifteen minutes south of Welaka. It's the bigger of the two towns, with a small downtown commercial district, a public library, and most of the everyday services — grocery, hardware, gas, mechanics — you'd want within driving distance of a fishing weekend.
Crescent City sits between Crescent Lake and Lake Stella, about fifteen minutes south of Welaka. It's the bigger of the two towns, with a small downtown commercial district, a public library, and most of the everyday services — grocery, hardware, gas, mechanics — you'd want within driving distance of a fishing weekend.
Crescent Lake itself is a quiet 16,000-acre fishery known for bass, crappie, and bream. The town's outdoor adventure resorts and RV parks pull in long-stay anglers, and there's an active live-music scene at the marinas and bar & grills on weekends. If you're basing a trip out of Crescent City, expect a slower pace and easy launches in every direction.
