The Suwannee River is perhaps the most well-known river in the state of Florida, inspiring songs and legends of life along its banks. The river stretches over 235 miles in length on its journey from the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia to the the Gulf of Mexico near Cedar Key, Florida. The river has a rich history and diverse ecosystem including over 62 freshwater springs, making it a prime destination for paddlers.
The Suwannee River has received federal recognition as a wild river and is part of the Florida Greenways & Trails Program, promoting it as a paddling trail for kayakers and canoeists. The Suwannee's unique features also create the only two sections of whitewater on the river at Little Shoals and Big Shoals (Class III) upstream from the town of White Springs.
A Brief History of the Suwannee River
Timucuan, Apalachee and Seminole Indian tribes all inhabited the banks of the Suwannee before Spanish explorers arrived in the area in 1530. There is much speculation over which tribe deserves the credit for giving the Suwannee its name; the Creek and Cherokee have even been rumored to have had a hand in the naming of this historic river. As a result definitions of the Suwannee, or Suwanee as it is sometimes spelled, range from "Echo River" and "River of Reeds" to "Deep Water," and "Crooked Black Water."
