... and Go with the Flow!
Come join the fun on Paddle Florida , October 15-22, 2009. Covering 123 miles of the scenic Suwannee River Wilderness Trail, the seven day paddlefest launches from Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park and finishes at Manatee Springs State Park in Chiefland. As many as 200 paddlers will be going with the flow, averaging 18 miles per day and camping on the banks of Florida ’s beautiful Suwannee River .
Paddle Florida is held in cooperation with the Florida Park Service and the Suwannee River Water Management District. These two organizations, through partnerships with both the public and private sectors, have created the 171-mile Suwannee River Wilderness Trail. The Trail is a series of cabins, river camps and private hubs that, taken together, make the Suwannee River accessible to paddlers, hikers, bikers, equestrian enthusiasts and other user groups. Paddle Florida will be using some of the facilities that have been recently completed.
Join us! Experience a week of camaraderie and the thrill of paddling a Florida gem.
Paddle Florida . . . and go with the flow.
