When we arrive, there will be a bus
and our truck to shuttle weary travelers
and their boats back to Madison Blue
Springs State Park. For those
who are interested in extending their
trip, take a trip to the Spirit of
the Suwannee Music Park, where the
Suwannee Springfest will be in full
swing. Paddlers can make
their own arrangements with the park
for camping Thursday night, or depart
for home with a sense of accomplishment
that you spent a week experiencing
the various ecosystems along the way,
and paddled 115 miles on two of Florida’s best
rivers.
