On our way back to our home base we stopped at Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center. Outside the entrance gate just a few yards away sets a building in White Springs, Florida called the Nature and Heritage Center. We have never stopped or gone into this building and we were very surprised at what we found. This Nature and Heritage Center has information on a number of State Parks and private outfitters for the Suwannee River adventurer. The Suwannee River Wilderness Trail consist of a system of camps spaced a day's travel apart so you can enjoy a day or several days on the Suwanee. Accessible only by water, these parks have restrooms with hot water showers, electricity, AC and/or heat. Covered screened in platforms with paddle fans and electricity. Group picnic pavilions and remote campsites with a community water spigot, fire rings, and tables. You can reserve a space at one of the river camps by calling 800-868-9914. especially at this time it is all free. What a great get-a-way, spend time on the river enjoying the the views and solitude to be treated to a little comfort at the end of your day's paddle. We have seen a few paddlers on this river when we have visited other parts, but had no idea where they stayed or what was offered for them. Next time you are looking for something different check out Nature and Heritage Center in White Springs Florida and you may find something interesting in there to do.
