Suwannee Kayak Trip – April, 2015

Suwannee River Kayak Trip – April 2015 – [ View the Full Album ]

With spring in the air and summer not too far away, it was time to paddle another section of the Suwannee River near Live Oak, FL to continue our expedition down the river.

Kayaking the Suwannee River in North Florida.  The Suwannee River is 246 miles long and runs from the Okefenokee Swamp in Fargo, Georgia to the Gulf of Mexico.  This was trip number 2 in our efforts to “section hike” most of the river.  This time, instead of big metal canoes, we upgraded to lean and fast kayaks to make our 36 mile trek from the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park to the Dowling Park Ramp more fun.

All of our planning worked out perfectly with nothing other than minor tweaks for next time.  The trip was another great time on the river and we definitely look forward to the next one to continue further toward the goal of making it to the gulf.

The cool fall weather has rolled around again, which means it was time to head back down to the Suwannee River near Live Oak, FL to continue our expedition down the river.

Suwannee Canoe Trip – Nov, 2013

Suwannee River Canoe Trip – November, 2013 – [ View the Full Album ]

For our trip this year, we decided to try something a little bit different than our typical back-country backpacking or mountain climbing — a leisurely back-country canoe trip.

The Suwannee River starts in the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia and proceeds through much of Florida to the Gulf of Mexico.  The river itself is 240 miles long, most of which is traversable.

For our adventure, our first time on the Suwannee, we decided to do just a subset of the northern section.  The 38-mile stretch from Cone Bridge just north of White Springs, FL to the Suannee Canoe Outpost located in the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Part.

The trip was a great time for the four of us and will definitely be the first of many other future canoe or kayak overnight trips.
