Suwannee River State Park near Live Oak is a Florida state park along the Suwannee River, known especially for backcountry canoeing and paddling through a largely natural landscape. Its riverine woods and wetlands feature trees such as cypress and southern magnolia, and the park commonly supports herons, American coots, turtles, and hawks. Recreation focuses on the river and other quiet outdoor activities, including canoeing, kayaking, boating, fishing, hiking, picnicking, cabins, camping, birding, and wildlife viewing. The park is open year-round, while swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving are available nearby at Falmouth and Ellaville springs rather than within the park itself.
