Trip Overview
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 your journey will begin. Traveling downstream we will explore hardwood swamps, pitcher plant prairies, dark water creeks, and sloughs filled with twisted cypress knees. Camps will be made on sand beaches that make up the rivers shore. You end your paddle “Way Down the Suwannee River” at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park for their annual SPRINGFEST. This is where we exit the kayaks and enter three awesome days of excellent bluegrass, folk, and jam band music. You have your own private camp walking distance to the music stage but far from most crowds.
