Egan's Creek is located on the north end of Amelia Island.
“Before Lewis and Clark there was William Bartram. In March 1774, Bartram began his much-anticipated trip to Florida, first setting foot on Amelia Island. He traveled through Old Fernandina to Lord Egmont’s plantation and continued to the St. John’s River documenting the region’s flora and fauna. Bartram introduced the world to over 250 native plants.
Egan’s Creek is a part of the Bartram Trail and known as an estuary. Think of an estuary as simply as an enormous nursery where numerous fish and other wildlife flourish. Guests will experience the intracoastal waterway of the Amelia River along with gliding through the naturally carved paths of the marsh grasses in the estuary, while having a view of the historic Amelia Island Lighthouse. They can enjoy seeing the various aquatic vegetation while keeping an eye out for birds and other wildlife that nature has to offer in our area. The environment gives paddlers great views of the marsh grasslands and an ever-changing skyline that is hard to beat.
