Suwannee River rises in the Okefenokee Swamp in southern Georgia, and winds its way lazily south across Northern Florida before hitting the Gulf of Mexico at Suwannee Sound. The Suwannee River Valley and its beautiful State Parks including Suwannee River State Park, Lafayette Blue Springs State Park, and Troy Springs State Park, combine to make this part of the world a truly beautiful slice of paradise.
The Suwannee River Valley offers adventure, natural beauty and history in equal measures. Visitors can hike along shaded trails, explore the remarkable historic sites in the Suwannee River State Park and the confluence of the Suwannee and Withlacoochee River, or take to the water by canoe, and enjoy a different perspective of nature.
