I was told be a colleague some years back that the number is over 5000. ______________________________________ This is what I found on-line at Florida Quick Facts:
Coastline - 1,197 Statute Miles
Tidal Shoreline - 2,276 Statute Miles
Beaches - 663 Miles
Florida has more than 11,000 miles of rivers, streams & waterways
Longest River - St. Johns at 273 miles
Largest Lake - Lake Okeechobee at 700 square miles
(the 2nd largest freshwater lake in the United States)
Number of Lakes greater than 10 acres - Aprox. 7,700
Number of First Magnitude Springs - 27
(Florida has more first magnitude springs than any other state.)
Number of Islands Greater than 10 Acres - Aprox. 4,500
(Florida ranks 2nd in the nation by this measure and only Alaska ranks higher.) I e-mailed the governer of Florida for my state report(i'm in 5th grade)and he said there is about 7,700 lakes.
