Canoeing the Withlacoochee to Ancient Florida Indian Middens

Take a trip with Florida Trailblazer to a few Ancient Florida Indian shell middens. According to the documentation of the Hernando de Soto expedition in 1539, a tribe of Indians called the Ocale inhabited sections of the Withlacoochee River. The Withlacoochee River is a Florida waterway that flows north and is approximately 141 miles long. Not much is known about the inland indigenous peoples of Flordia. By the early 1700's most of the indigenous people of Florida went into extinction through disease, warfare, and subjection to European conquest.
