Day Five — Monday, October 18, 2010
Suwannee River Rendezvous Resort and Campground to Ivey Memorial Park
Another short "sprint" of 15 miles this day. We have our rest stop nearly ten miles into the day's adventure, but it is well worth it, as we take a break for lunch at Little River Springs, currently a Suwannee County Park, but soon to be an additional property of the Florida Park Service. This site is popular with cave and cavern divers.

    The spring is the entrance to a cave system more than 1,200 feet long and 100 feet deep. After visiting this picturesque location, the final five miles will be a breeze. On the way, we will also pass Royal Spring, Troy Springs and Ruth Springs, before we camp at Ivey Memorial Park in Branford, Florida. When you get off the river, you are nearly in downtown Branford. This may be a good opportunity to pick up some additional supplies.
