When the Suwannee river breeches its levee and floods septic tanks and anything else around. Then the Florida Trail prefers you to take a safer route. After getting the blessing from the FTA, we set off down Suwannee river past the area of concern. It was a brilliant idea from Amazon-Man who you can see on the other canoe. The FT is on or under the right edge of river, which was still around 15 feet to high. The Suwannee river flood regularly, but not not this extent in a rare 10 year or so flood. But what a great day to be alive.
