The St. Johns River lies very close to the east coast of Florida, beginning about midway down the peninsula and winding north to Jacksonville before veering east to empty into the Atlantic Ocean. Most of its tributaries enter on its western bank; it crosses and creates many lakes.

The St. Johns River (Spanish:Río de San Juan) is the longest river in the U.S. state of Florida and its most significant for commercial and recreational use. At 310 miles (500 km) long, it winds through or borders twelve counties, three of which are the state's largest. The drop in elevation from headwaters to mouth is less than 30 feet (9 m); like most Florida waterways, the St. Johns has a very low flow rate 0.3 mph (0.13 m/s) and is often described as "lazy". It is believed to be one of the few rivers that flow north, although there are hundreds of the kind worldwide. Numerous lakes are formed by the river or flow into it, but as a river its widest point is nearly 3 miles (5 km) across. The narrowest point is in the headwaters, an unnavigable marsh in Indian River County. The St. Johns drainage basin of 8,840 square miles (22,900 km) includes some of Florida's major wetlands. It is separated into three major basins and two associated watersheds for Lake George and the Ocklawaha River, all managed by the St. Johns River Water Management District.
