I have not but be aware that the Suwanee is very high and is running fast and has been so for months. And so are it's northern tributaries like the Santa Fe. I would not plan on boating, swimming or fishing right now. Every storm we get has just kept the water level up and we just had two days of heavy frontal rain.
here's warning at Troy Springs State Park for example:
"Troy Spring is closed to all visitation due to flooding. The park will re-open when it is safe to do so after the water recedes."
And that warning is worse than it was last week since now the park is closed when before swimming and diving were banned but the park was open for other activities.
It will take a return to the summer storm cycle, localized afternoon showers and a month or so for it to go back down to the normal depth is my guess.
