Suwannee Springs - Live Oak (FL)

5 /5 Robby Giovanetti: Beautiful piece of Old Florida. History seems to flow all around, amazing and tragic. Definitely worth the stop.

5 /5 Callyann Brewington: Our riding group took a trip down to the Grafitti Bridge. Beautiful day and just an amazing place to wander around. Loved walking the bridge, taking pictures and admiring the artwork.

5 /5 jamie pantazi: beautiful trails, beautiful river views. the ground is flat and packed enough for my wheelchair in some places, but there are a bunch of steps down to the water. it was not hot enough to go swimming, but it looks like a lovely spot for it on a hot day!

3 /5 Michael: So here’s the deal: it’s a cool place, don’t get me wrong. I love the Suwannee River and all the activities it provides - swimming, kayakking, tubing, and just relaxing in a very peaceful place. However, you need to understand Suwannee “Springs” is very much not like other springs in this area. If you’re looking for a spring that has the characteristic beautiful blue water, you will not find that here. Suwannee Springs has a long history, and you’ll find remnants of its past alongside the river where there is a former bath house surrounding where the spring comes out of the ground. Since it is obviously not maintained like it was back decades ago, it is very brown like the river water and not pleasant looking or smelling. Keep that in mind - if you’re looking for an actual spring to swim in, go somewhere else! However, if you’re coming here for the river itself, of course it is great like any other spot on the river. There is ample parking, a small beach alongside the river, some walking trails, and plenty of access for you to put in your tubes or kayaks. Also, be sure to check out the bridge just down the river that’s covered in graffiti - it looks really cool and allows for great photos! All in all, it’s a cool place, but probably not worth the drive from cities like Jacksonville or Orlando! Definitely worth going only if you’re in the area already!
