Lake Jackson in north Tallahassee is experiencing a dry down event, during which part of the lake naturally and cyclically drains into a sinkhole. The Porter Hole Sink, which is located near Faulk Landing, has drained fully 11 times since June 2021.
Today, there is enough water to kayak from Rhoden Cove to Sunset landing! Both are free Leon County maintained boat landings.
Leon County in Tallahassee, FL maintains 25 boat landings throughout the county.
