There’s no shortage of natural beauty in Jacksonville’s Northside, where residents and visitors can find the 7 Creeks Recreation Park, a hidden gem made up of over 30 miles worth of trails.
That accident is prompting questions in Jacksonville where trains with tanker cars constantly cross the St. Johns River. And there have been problems in the past.

As Tropical Storm Elsa swept across North Florida on Wednesday, emergency management officials in Baker County kept a close eye on rising water levels in Cedar Creek, which feeds into the St. Marys River.
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. - More than six miles of shoreline has been impacted by oil leaking from the Golden Ray in the St. Simons Sound, according to the Altamaha Riverkeeper. The Riverkeeper said it has taken samples from a 9-mile radius around the overturned ship on Wednesday. It said many areas have been saturated with oil from the low tide line up to the top of the Spartina grass. Due to the weather, the St. Simons Sound Incident Unified Command partially suspended operations earlier in the week. As of Monday, salvage workers had removed over 198,000 gallons of fuel from the Golden Ray.
