Wednesday Suwannee River State Park

Today we drove over to the Suwannee River State Park. This park is at the confluence of the Suwannee River and the Withlacoochee River. I think it is probably the most beautiful of the State Parks we have seen. There is a mix of Live Oak, Slash Pine and other varieties of tree. The cold spell we have had has really set the leaves to changing colour. It was a bright clear day and the river moves past quite slowly. The park has swing chairs placed at an overlook to the river. We sat there for a while and it was most peaceful and tranquil. It was a pleasure just to be there. We wandered round the park and looked at the remains of the earth works put their by the confederates in 1863, now all overgrown and in in the woods, then we walked down to the river. It was lovely
