The view from an overlook includes the joining of the two rivers, and when the water level is low, you'll see springs emerging from the banks of both rivers. The park is located 13 miles west of the town of Live Oak, off U.S. 90. While the park now covers an area of 1,800 acres, it began with the acquisition of 300 acres in 1936. Within the park, all that remains of the old town of Columbia, built near the fortification, is a cemetery said to be one of the oldest in Florida. Recreational opportunities are varied in this unique park.
Activities center on camping, river canoeing and boating, and hiking.
A boat ramp provides access to the Suwanee, and the Upper Suwanee River Canoe Trail, with its start in Georgia, ends in the park. The Lower Suwanee canoe route runs from the park to the Gulf of Mexico. You'll find a family campground, with picnic tables and grills. The two walking trails are reserved for pedestrians only. The Suwanee River Trail runs along the banks of the river, providing fine views from on-high, and then along Lime Sink Run.
