Big Juniper Creek is a tributary of the Blackwater River primarily in Santa Rosa County, Florida.[2] It rises in several small streams just north of the state line in Escambia County, Alabama,[1] and flows southward to merge into the Blackwater River 5 miles (8.0 km) upstream from the mouth of Big Coldwater Creek. Baseflow makes up just over half of the flow in Big Juniper Creek, while the rest is surface runoff. The stream beds consist of sand and gravel.[3]
