kayakers at Rock Bluff Spring on the Suwanneee River, Gilchrist County, Florida
Suwannee River, Gilchrist County, Florida
This bright blue springs is a great place to kayak out to see manatee, alligators, vultures that migrate here in mass and plenty of other wildlife. Also fun for scuba and swimming!
Ever seen a buzzard up close? They are the biggest, ugliest birds ever. They were perched all over this walkway as we walked out to look for manatees in the Swanee River. This state park hardly had anyone visiting. It was rustic looking with plenty of parking spaces between campsites. Definitely on our return list. The spring is super cool too. But I'll always remember the buzzards....
