Dozens of small, roadside parks, some with boat ramps, some with camping hook ups, some with riding trails, all along the Suwannee River where it winds through several counties in my area for over 100 miles. Some of the small parks are where cold water springs flow out of the rocks and run into the river. Other parks are where different smaller rivers flow into the Suwannee. Some are state parks, some owned by the county they are in. Some are private and charge a fee for the boat ramps and camping.
Itchetucknee Springs Park offers tube rentals, paddle boards, swimming, diving, has transportarion back to the parking lot after tubing down the river. All very clear, pure spring water that bubbles up from underground caves in the area.
