Awesome experience. Friendly staff. Was surprised about there being a cost for parking, but $6 is reasonable for the day. Food, snacks, drinks, ice cream available. Rented a canoe and kayak and had a blast on the river. Did not catch any fish and current was fast so we did not get far. But will be back soon.

We had a great time kayaking down the Suwanee River. We saw gators, birds and turtles. It was my grandsons first kayaking experience. We passed a group of 4 manatees while paddling. We got to swim with them at Fanning Springs State park. Lots of fun and a great deal
