Transportation & Waterways

Clay County is full of communities impacted by water, both positively and negatively.  From transportation to recreation, the waters of the St. Johns River, Black Creek, Doctor’s Lake, Swimming Pen Creek, and the many lakes of Keystone Heights tell the story of our founding and impact us greatly even today. Decades of storms and the impact of flooding on many homes and businesses exist. Early settlers depended on water-based travel.  However, the arrival of the railroad to Clay County also shaped our county’s future by providing an alternate transportation method.

Archives Specialist Vishi Garig recently compiled information and photos into a booklet we call “Clay County History Tour – Stories from the Water’s Edge“.  In addition to checking out the content on the pages linked below, please also enjoy this article which summarizes some of the many ways the waterways flowing through our county impacted our lives through the decades.

Public Notice - Main Courthouse

If you visit the Clay County Courthouse in Green Cove Springs over the weeks and months ahead, you will notice renovation projects happening here  – but all services remain available.

  • Construction/renovation began this week on the 2nd Floor (new side) – expect noise related to that work for several months (up to a year).
  • Contractors/vendors will enter/exit the courthouse regularly throughout the day, so parking in the area may be challenging – arrive early for any appointments.
  • Our Orange Park Branch and online options are available, as are other service options.
  • During September, renovation projects in Administration, Civil, and Clerk’s Finance (1st Floor) areas may temporarily alter those office/staff locations in the building, so pay special attention to security staff directions and signage.

Thank you for your patience during this time of improvement. Please keep an eye out for updates throughout the months ahead.
