I know several of you are regular Peace River visitors, and a few of you were offering to take people out. Well I am ready! I know the river is high right now, but as soon as it lowers enough, my son and I really want to go. We don’t scuba dive, so would like to be in an area shallow enough to dig and sift. I would like to go before it gets TOO cold.

Hi Ginny!
I’d love to take you and your son to the peace. This is the USGS website we use. https://waterdata.usgs.gov/fl/nwis/uv?site_no=02295637 (Zolfo Springs). How we gauge when we go in the river is when Zolfo Springs is at 5′ or less you can find a place to dig. However you also have to watch the discharge. It’s measured in cubic feet per second. I’ve found that below 100 is comfortable with children. Do you have a kayak or canoe?

I will keep an eye out! I have an inflatable kayak.
Let me know when you decide to go! I know a few of use would enjoy going out! The last time I went was in December and it was beautiful!
I will definitely let you know!
