Withlacoochee River North, FL/GA

This 28-mile paddling trail is generally suitable for beginning to intermediate paddlers, depending on water levels. Rocky shoals are numerous along the river but may not be noticeable during high water levels. The Withlacoochee can be challenging when water levels are low and shoals are more exposed.

The Pinetta gauge should read above 54 feet for optimal paddling conditions. If below 54 feet, many of the shoals may be too low to paddle through. Take time to scout the shoals prior to paddling if in doubt.

At the confluence of the Suwannee River, paddle upstream on the east side to the boat ramp at the Suwannee River State Park to end your trip. Shuttle vehicles may be left here overnight at the park. The Suwannee River State Park is a stop on the Suwannee River Wilderness State Trail and camping and cabins are available. - FDEP
