An epic body of water

The black waters of the Suwannee River travel almost 250 miles from South Georgia to the rapids of Florida before joining the Santa Fe and Withlaccoochee Rivers and draining into the Gulf of Mexico. For thousands of years, humans have relied on this source for food and water and during the 19th century the beautiful Madison steamboat chugged up the river carrying eager passengers on pleasure cruises. Much of the river and the forests banks form the Suwannee River Wilderness Trail, made up of a series of state parks and preserves, some of which have Suwanee River vacation rentals.
