Suwannee River State Park
Civil War-era constructions remain along the riverbank at this scenic park with woodland trails.
On the day I visited (day after Christmas), there was no one there. A sign was left on the ranger station window saying the trails were closed, but no one was there to patrol, so you could take the trails at your own peril. It's an overall nice park that has the feel of being out in the woods/nature with some views of the Suwanee River. It made for a nice stop to take a walk in nature before continuing my drive (not far from highway I-10) while also crossing off another Florida State Park from the list.
Had a blast but they made my friend leave and tried to steal his electrical cord, then tried to extort him for 50 bucks to give it back. The park officer brought it back. The Mad Hatter is a very popular guy at the festival, so they really got a black eye. The park was great, I had no problems, but the few ruin it for many. So shame on the staff, you should refund Kevin 100% of his money. Until you do I will never come back.
This park is beautiful, a must see! Friendly staff! We were on the trail and there were deer in the brush right next to us and you can see the river from the trails and access to the river from the trails, there’s bridge with clear water underneath that you can walk through, there’s swings where you can view the river and picnic tables, a playground, really cool historical things to look at, it’s just so pretty!
Just came back from a two nights stay @ Suwannee River state park. We rented a cabin and it was large, comfortable and very well equipped. A/C in this hot summer worked pretty good plus there are fans in each room. Park is gorgeous and well kept. Hiking trails inside the parks perimeter are perfect for beginners. Overall our stay was wonderful. Peaceful and quiet place. Beautiful surroundings
This was our 1st visit to this state park, but won't be our last. We did 3 trails (Lime Sink Run, Earthworks, and Sandhill Loop to Columbus Cemetery). Each trail was unique and pleasant, with plenty to see. There were quite a few deer on the Sandhill trail. A beautiful boardwalk on the Lime Sink Run trail. Earthworks trail had remnants of old steamboats. This park is one of my new favorites.
