We live on a canal that leads to the river. Not big enough at our house to get our boat in though. Yesterday was the first time I've been on the canal since we lived here. Did some exploring in the jon boat.

Cuda,
Is the canal too shallow or too narrow, or both? Looks cool, no wonder you have so many critter stories!

Both. They guy that lived here before me said the five houses on this canal pitched in about ten years ago and had it dredged. It needs it again. I still couldn't get my big boat up it if it were dredged, too narrow to turn it around. I could probably get my fish boat and maybe my Donzi up the canal. We may take the jon boat and drag out the branches that fell in during the hurricanes.
