The Suwannee begins as a black-water river in the Okefenokee Swamp, the river of musical legend emerges and flows 240 miles southwest to the Gulf of Mexico. It’s at this source where our journey will begin. Traveling downstream we will explore hardwood swamps, pitcher plant prairies, dark water creeks, and sloughs filled with twisted cypress knees.
Easy - No prior paddling experience necessary.
