Variety of Sites and Landscapes
We visited Suwannee River State Park to do some hiking. We were stunned by the beauty and variety of the landscapes! The park is on the site of an old city called Columbus that was active until about 100 years ago. All the remains is the cemetery and the stagecoach road. Confederate Earthworks underscore the importance of the area’s bridges. The views of the Suwannee and Withlachoochee Rivers were stunning along the trails and platforms. There are other spring runs and bridges scattered about. It was so beautiful, remote, and relaxing. We hiked all the 5 miles of trails on the south side of the Suwannee in about 2 hours. This is a real gem in north Florida and I highly recommend stopping by for a visit.

Enjoyed the cabins and canoe rental
This is the second time we have stayed in the cabins here. There is no tv, no internet, and only one bar for signal on our phones so we can at least make a phone call and check emails. Very quiet and comfortable, a relaxing get away. Not many people and we rented a canoe from a nearby canoe rental company for a relaxing couple of hours exploring the river.

Suwannee River
The river originates within the Okefenokee Swamp then twists through the Florida panhandle, finding additional flow from springs in Florida. In 1851 Stephen Foster wrote the song 'Old Folks at Home' he calls the river Suwannee. It remains Florida's state song. The Suwannee River Wilderness Trail is 171 miles of river beginning in White Springs to the Gulf of Mexico. Along the river are camps, state parks. Launch south of U.S. 41 in White Springs.
