Thread: Slabfest in central Florida

Research the history about the place.
I believe a long time ago it was going to be a place to grow stuff, then things changed and they decided to make it into a watershed to catch nutrients to keep them out of the St. John's, I ain't sure. But nowdays it is a primary Bass fishing place.
Somethin like that......

Here's some stuff I dug up-->

There are 5 predominate structure features in the Farm 13/Stick Marsh:

1. Submerged canals
2. The submerged levees adjacent to those canals
3. Small drainage ditches that connected to the major canals
4. A few isolated piles of dirt or other debris (possibly the remains of a burned shed or a pump house, etc.)
5. Old roads used by the farm equipment to work the fields that once made up Farm 13

Stick Marsh was a marsh. It was full of trees that were tall and brush and some wild fruit trees. There were swampy areas and areas not so wet. The entire area was surrounded on all four sides by canals. In the late 1980s, the St. John's River Water Management District and the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers initiated a project to restore the drained marshland and to construct reservoirs, canals and levees that would offer a new level of flood protection. The water flowed over the top of the inside levies and filled up the stickmarsh. This created, Stick Marsh the lake. The FWC then stocked the area, brush, trees and vegetation still intact, with gamefish.
