Botanist Roland McMillan Harper identified several species in the area of the creek during his travels in Florida 1909–1910.[5]
The surrounding area includes horse properties.
There is a community of Telogia, a scouting Telogia Camp, and a Telogia Creek Road. Lampropeltis getula meansi, the Appalachicola Kingsnake, lives in the area. It is non-venomous.
Paddling
The creek can be accessed from the Bently Bluff ramp. Approximately 14 miles downstream (7 miles as the crow flies) it meets up with the Ochlockonee River. Huey P. Arnold County Park can be used as a takeout spot.[2]
The creek's course is windy, portages necessary and there can be snags. Shorter water craft are easier to maneuver along it.[2]
