Arachno Creek or Spider Creek is a creek in Navarre, Florida, United States.[1][2][3][4] It is a third of a mile long, and connects to the East Bay River.[3][5][6][7][8] Its name comes from the commonality of arachnids and spiderwebs along its span. Though it is debated, it is currently believed to have been named by a local Boy Scout from Gulf Breeze. It is completely located on the grounds of Eglin Air Force Base.[9][10] It can be accessed by boat or kayak[2][3][8] via the East Bay River Public Boat Ramp.[11][3] The creek has been calculated to have a discharge rate of 21 cubic feet per second.[12]
