Lone Cabbage

St. Johns River - Brevard County      The Lone Cabbage, an old style Florida fish camp dating back to the 1940s, still puts on a delectable southern feast. Located down on the St. Johns River banks, it's been said you may see your dinner swimming by from its outdoor deck. The Lone Cabbage is famous for its frog legs, gator tail and catfish, with plenty of ice cold beer to cool any summertime thirst.
     Running north on the river for 20 miles, following its snake-like twists and turns, it soon becomes apparent that the Lone Cabbage is the only mark of civilization on this section of the St. Johns River. With all of its side channels, cuts and lagoons, the river becomes an interesting maze, and turns any return trip into a challenging memory test. With no direction signs and little chance of following the delicious smells wafting with the wind from the restaurant, boaters must rely on the basics; the river current always flows northward.
