Suwannee River Swamplands: First Day Hike

This event has already occurred.


Status: Archived  
This hike requires pre-registration. We will start the beginning of the year at the beginning of the Suwannee River. As we hike we will discuss the origins of the river in the swamp and where all that water is headed. We will also talk about the history of the area from the purpose of the Suwannee River Sill to turpentiners in the woods.

This hike requires pre-registration and will have limited capacity. Call the park to register. This hike will cover about 2.5 miles and may have sections off trail depending on water levels. No pets on this hike. Wear closed toe shoes. Bring water, bug spray and dress for the weather. We will meet at the second Suwannee River Sill parking lot.
