How many rivers in WWALS watersheds?

• Three (Alapaha, Withlacoochee, and Suwannee upper and lower),
• Five (plus New and Little Rivers flowing into the Withlacoochee),
• Nine (plus Willacoochee, Alapahoochee, and Little Alapaha River flowing into the Alapaha, and Dead River out of it),
• Twelve (plus Black River flowing into the upper Suwannee and Little River and Gopher River of into the lower Suwannee).
• Plus several large creeks and many smaller ones, and lakes and ponds and swamps.
• Of the rivers, only the Withlacoochee, Little, Alapaha, Alapahoochee, and Suwannee are generally considered boatable, and (usually) none of the creeks.

Little Alapaha River

A disappearing stream that, like the Alapaha River, goes into a sinkhole at the Cody Scarp, the Little Alapaha River arises in Echols County, Georgia, just before it flows into Hamilton County, Florida, where it falls into a sinkhole west of Jasper, briefly reappearing before vanishing again. Theoretically it is a tributary of the Alapaha River, but it is not clear the waters of the Little Alapaha River ever reach the Alapaha River aboveground.
