Where the scenic Withlacoochee joins the historic Suwannee. The Setting With more than 1,800 acres, nature is the primary focus of this park, which also features sinks, streams, springs and limestone outcroppings. Abundant plant and animal species call the park home, including gopher tortoise, fox, deer, song birds, wildflowers and diverse native forests. The protected Gulf Sturgeon and other fishes and reptiles are abundant in the river.

Along the famed spring-cooled river, visitors can enjoy paddling, hiking, biking and horseback riding.
