at the 30 campsites located in the family campground.
A restroom with hot showers is available. Firewood
and ice available inquire at ranger station.
Two youth tent camping areas for use by organized, non-profit youth groups are available. Youth Camping fees are $3.00 per adult and $2.00 per child or youth.
Canoeing
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.
Fishing
Without a boat, visitors may still fish along the
bank of the river. Catches of catfish, bass, and
panfish reward the persistant angler. A Florida
freshwater fishing license is required for persons
16 years of age and older.
Nature study is easy on the Suwannee River Trail, which winds along the high banks of the river and along Lime Sink Run. Interpretive labels explain the hammock and its various plants and animals for those who take the self-guided tour. The Sandhills Trail takes visitors from the picnic area to the Columbus Cemetery. The open forest of pines here contrasts with the hardwood hammock along the river trail. A section of this trail runs along the route of the old stage road, which ran from Pensacola to Jacksonville and was the major route of travel in the early 1800s. Note: All trails are for foot traffic only. Vehicles and horses are not permitted.
Picnicking
Two picnic pavilions are available in addition to the individual picnic tables and grills. Picnic tables and grills are standard at the 31 campsites located in the family campground.
RVs
The campground at Suwannee River State Park has
27 campsites available through the Reserveration
America system. They can accommodate RV type campers
and tent campers as most sites depending upon size
of each camping rig. Each site is equipped with
electrical hookups (20 & 30 Amps), water, picnic
table, and ground grill fire ring. There is a dump
station located within the campground facility.
All campers must register at the Ranger Station.
