 Suwannee River State Park
The scenic Withlacoochee River joins the historic Suwannee River within this park. An overlook provides visitors with a panoramic view of the rivers and surrounding wooded uplands. When the water level is low, springs may be seen bubbling from the banks of both rivers. The name "Suwannee" is thought to have been derived from the American Indian word meaning "black muddy water." Immortalized in the Stephen Foster song, "Old Folks at Home," the river is known around the world. Suwannee River was among the first parks to become part of the Florida state park system. An original 300 acres was purchased in 1936. The park now has more than 1,800 acres in three counties: Suwannee, Madison and Hamilton. Canoe Trail
The Suwannee River (upper) Canoe Trail and the Withlacoochee River Canoe Trail both begin in Georgia and end in the park. The Suwannee River (lower) Canoe Trail begins at the park and ends at the Gulf.  Launch Site: Enter the Park after the pay station and follow the road to the right. The Boat ramp is located at the end of the road past the campgrounds. Plenty of parking up from the ramp.
