Day Two — Friday, October 15, 2010
Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park to Suwannee River State Park
The first morning of Paddle Florida will have us leaving the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. You will notice the distinctive aspects of the Upper Suwannee; a narrow riverbed and increasingly steeper limestone bluffs. After paddling a distance of 7.5 miles, we will stop for lunch at Holton Creek River Camp, which is part of a series of hubs, cabins and river camps that comprise the Suwannee River Wilderness Trail. All lunch stops will offer healthy "snack food," various fruits and drinks (all you can eat). Everyone should be fortified for the rest of this 21-mile day. We will be establishing a stagger to avoid bottlenecks at rest stops.

 In the afternoon, our intrepid paddlers will arrive at the Suwannee River State Park for overnight camping. One of Florida’s most visited parks, it sits at the confluence of the Suwannee and Withlacoochee Rivers. On the way, if you are lucky, you will be treated to springs visible at the bottom of the limestone cliffs, as well as a wide variety of wildlife native to the Upper Suwannee River.
