Get Down on the Suwannee River...
... and Go with the Flow!

Get ready for Paddle Florida November 2008
This November 8 – 15, we will start farther upriver at Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park in White Springs and finish in Branford.  As many as 200 paddlers will be going with the flow, averaging 13 miles per day and camping on the banks of Florida ’s beautiful Suwannee River.  Click on "journey details" at left for a summary of each day's adventures.  We'll add maps and more details as the weeks go by, so please stay tuned. Meanwhile...

Thanks to everyone who paddled and assisted in the inaugural Paddle Florida, the event was a great success.  Over 150 people participated as we covered 123 miles on the Suwannee River during March 20-27, 2008.

Watch the video! Then use the controls on the map, below, to explore the route. We'll update the route with details as they become available.

Paddle Florida is held in cooperation with the Florida Park Service and the Suwannee River Water Management District.  These two organizations, through partnerships with both the public and private sectors, have created the 171-mile Suwannee River Wilderness Trail.   The Trail is a series of cabins, river camps and private "hubs" that, taken together, make the Suwannee River accessible to paddlers, hikers, bikers, equestrian enthusiasts and other user groups.  Paddle Florida will be using some of the facilities that have been recently completed.

Join us!  Experience a week of camaraderie and the thrill of paddling a Florida gem.

Paddle Florida . . . and go with the flow.
