DESCRIPTION: Defunct road bridge, a steel through-truss bridge, apparently built around 1902-1903.

HISTORIC FACTS: This is the site of the ‘Jennings_Bridge’, a steel through-truss bridge, apparently built around 1902-1903. If there are cutoff Lally columns, then the Jennings Bridge was probably indeed built around 1902-1903. But if the supports are old limerock concrete or brick, then it would have been built before 1898.

HISTORIC FACTS: “”[O]ld CR 387 bridge crossed the river two miles upstream of Nobles Ferry. It was a single-lane, single-span steel truss bridge, built after 1911…. In 1910-1911, the Florida Railway surveyed, grubbed and graded a rail line that would have run from Quitman, GA to Live Oak, FL…. It was to cross the Alapaha right where the CR 387 bridge later stood…. But with the cleared grade in place to serve as a highway, and concrete/brick abutments in place on the river banks, a highway bridge was built at the site. It remained in place until 1981 or maybe 1985, then was replaced a bit further downstream by the existing CR 751 … bridge. “” —Ken Sulak

DESCRIPTION: “Alapaha River camping at its finest. Catch huge catfish, gar, mudfish, and all the pan you fish you can think of, just steps away from your camp. Beautiful area to camp just 20 mins away from shopping and exploring the heart of South Georgia. You can fish for huge catfish, all night long, with the river just steps away. There are also two ponds you may fish in as well if the river current gets on your nerves. You can set up anywhere you like, near the river or away from it on the open lot by the tree line, lots of areas to choose from. You can drop a small boat or kayak in right from the bank of the river. This area of Georgia used to be the bottom of the ocean so there is lots of sand so even if it rains the ground do not stay wet for long. There is a lot of history in this area with agriculture and railways. Lots of people like to drive just a few minutes away to Fitzgerald and see the original brick streets and railway. Historic downtown Tifton is the closest town and has everything you need or want in a friendly southern town. Wild Adventures theme park is only about an hour away if a rollercoaster is on your mind. Do come to me for anything you may need or questions you have. Do fish in the ponds if you like. Do check the info mailbox by the camp area for contact info.””, “”Do not feed alligators that sometimes visit the area. Do not leave trash.”

During the Indian Wars, 1836-1838, the church building was partially burned. The fire-damaged timbers were used in the reconstruction [in 1854], and since that time Union Church has also been known as Burnt Church.”” The building was then restored in April, 1998.

HISTORIC FACTS: “”Back in the early 1800s, it was the site of Davenport’s Ferry. I have scant information on Davenport or his ferry. It was never licensed that I can determine, but was subsequently taken over by Henry Peeples Nunn in the 1870s, and became known as Nunn’s Ferry. Nunn is buried in the Jennings Bluff Cemetery…. The only way I know that there was a Davenport’s Ferry is that it is mentioned in the Florida Acts in which a license was issued to Mr. Nunn “at the site of old Davenport Ferry””.”” —Ken Sulak

CATEGORIES: Ferry

LAYER: Point of Interest

GPS: 30.43673, -83.0964

OWNERSHIP: Public

WATER BODY: Alapaha River, Suwannee River

MILE: 0.00

ADDRESS: The ferry used to land on the east or west banks of the Alapaha River, crossing the Suwannee River. “”The approach road to the ferry landing winds down the south (east) bank and is still evident. Atop the bank is a large oak with a ring scar where the ferry cable was moored. The ferry crossed the Suwannee, landing on either side of the mouth of the Alapaha (east actually landing up into the Alapaha). There were roads down from both sides.”” —Ken Sulak

DESCRIPTION: A ferry across the Suwannee River, operating 1842-1860, and again 1880-1912.

HISTORIC FACTS: “”In 1842, Soloman Zipperer and John Martin Zipperer Jr. got a license to operate a ferry across the Suwannee River at what is now called Nobles Ferry (Gibson Park). The Zipperers were immigrants from Germany (perhaps Austria) and obtained several land patents in the Nobles Ferry area along the river. Soloman died in 1864, I am guessing in the Civil War because in 1860 his sister Elizabeth ( ˜Hester’) Zipperer and William J. J. Duncan obtained a license to build a toll bridge to replace the ferry. Eventually, the toll bridge collapsed and was replaced in 1880 by a new ferry at the same site, operated I think by William P. Nobles, a resident of Live Oak. “” —Ken Sulak

HISTORIC FACTS: “”The earliest settlers marveled at the vast wetland and its swamps of ancient cypress trees. They also recognized the potential of the water as a source of power. Joshua Lee (1782-1855) settled on higher ground overlooking the wetland and in ca. 1830 built a low-level dam across a drainage stream. Water backed up behind the dam and what is now Banks Lake was formed. Lee used the water that poured from his dam as a power source for a grist mill. The water-driven wheel was first used for grinding grain but over time was also adapted to power both a sawmill and a cotton gin.”” https://www.exploresouthernhistory.com/bankslake.html

DESCRIPTION: The last stop on the Alapaha River Water Trail is on the Suwannee River: Gibson Park Ramp, in a county park of Hamilton County, Florida. Much of the year those last 17.95 river miles are dry down from Jennings Bluff Launch. But in the rainy season (winter) sometimes the Alapaha is high and fast and it’s a quick paddle to the Suwannee and a very short upstream to Gibson Park Ramp. The concrete boat ramp is great for a short paddle upstream under the CR 249 bridge to the Alapaha Rise, a spring where Alapaha River water comes back up after eighteen miles underground and three days later.

If a pipeline is punctured, the HVLs will escape and convert from a liquid to a gas. HVLs are heavier than air; therefore, if they escape from the pipeline, they will likely pool in low-lying areas. HVLs are highly flammable and will burn or explode if exposed to an ignition source. HVLs are dangerous and could be lethal if inhaled by humans or animals. http://www.enterpriseproducts.com/pipeline-safety/pipeline-viewer

OWNERSHIP: Private

WATER BODY: Alapaha River

MILE: 11.50

ADDRESS: Where the current US 41 bridge is, between Jennins and Jasper, FL. Hamilton County.

DESCRIPTION: A steel truss toll bridge, built to replace Davenport’s Ferry.

HISTORIC FACTS: “”In 1885, Nunn and Jeremiah Gill obtained a state license to construct a toll bridge to replace the ferry crossing. It was a steel truss bridge of a very early design, an arched bowstring bridge. Only two such bridges were built in Florida, the other over the Withlacoochee near Lee (close to Suwannee River State Park). It probably had two spans to cross the long distance from shore to shore. Being built before the invention of steel Lally columns, the two spans probably rested upon brick and/or concrete piers. This may be the earliest steel truss bridge built in Florida, or at least one of the first few. Supposedly, there are remnants of the piers in the riverbank, but I have not found them. This was a light-duty wood plank deck bridge with only a single brace over top to connect the two sides.”” —Ken Sulak

HISTORIC FACTS: “”The Hawkinsville and Florida Southern Railway (H&FS) was founded in 1896 and by 1901 was operating 43 miles (69 km) of track from Hawkinsville to Worth, Georgia, USA, where it connected with the Georgia Southern and Florida Railroad.[1] It also operated a 15-mile (24 km) line between Davisville and Fitzgerald, Georgia. In 1907, a portion of the H&FS was leased to the Gulf Line Railway However, in 1913, the H&FS took over operations and fully absorbed the Gulf Line resulting in a line from Hawkinsville to Camilla, Georgia. In 1922, the H&FS went bankrupt. The section from Camilla to Ashburn, Georgia, was purchased by the Georgia, Ashburn, Sylvester and Camilla Railway but no buyers could be found for the remainder of the system and it was abandoned by 1923.””

MILE: 0.51

ADDRESS: From US 41, turn east onto NW 25 Ln, turn into Jennings Bluff Tract, park at Jennings Bluff Launch, walk to Dead River, follow inland half a mile. Hamilton County.

DESCRIPTION: When water levels are low, most of the Alapaha River water rushes into the sinks in the Alapaha River and into the Dead River Sink, leaving the Alapaha River dry downstream from Jennings Bluff, for the seventeen river miles to the Suwannee River. The Dead River Sink is the end of the Dead River, which is a distributary that takes water from the Alapaha River. Water is always going into the Dead River Sink, down into the Floridan Aquifer, or perhaps one of the aquifers above it. The water comes back up about three days later in the Alapaha River Rise, a spring connected to the Suwannee River just upstream from the Alapaha River Confluence. With walls and towers were girdled round: / And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills —Samuel Taylor Coleridge 1797
