Default Suwanee River State park

Spent a long weekend at Suwanee River State park just east of Live
Oak, FL in the cabins there. These are not "cabins" but are luxury
style with enormous wrap around porches.
In spite of ultra-low water, the river was great for canoeing and
kayaks. I had forgotten how beautiful it is there. It has high
limestone banks and springs flowing into the river. The Withlacoochee
flows into the Suwanee in the park and is entirely different. The
Suwanee is tannnin stained from arising in the Okefenokee whereas the
Withlacoochee is much clearer. Where they join the demarcation is as
sharp as a razor.
You could easily spend a week boating, fishing, hiking, just lazing
around, "spring hopping", etc so a long weekend was too short.
