• Suwannee River - Originating in the Okefenokee Swamp in Fargo, Georgia, the Suwannee River flows southwest into the Florida Panhandle. It descends through limestone layers, creating a unique Florida whitewater rapid. Beyond this rapid, the river veers west near White Springs, Florida, and merges with the Alapaha and Withlacoochee Rivers.
• Manatee Springs State Park - For over 10,000 years, people have enjoyed the refreshing waters of Manatee Springs, from early Paleo Indians to today’s park visitors. This first-magnitude spring releases an impressive 100 million gallons of water daily, making it a favored spot for cooling off and enjoying a walk along the park’s boardwalk to admire the clear waters.

True to its name, manatees are visible during the cooler months, while birds, mammals, and fish can be observed throughout the year.
