Local Attractions & Recreation . . .

Blessed with Florida's renowned springtime climate, Florida's Suwannee River Valley is a perfect spot for outdoor recreation and sports. In addition to fabulous diving and watersports, visitors are thrilled to discover the area's wide range of outdoor diversions and recreational attractions.

Florida's Suwannee River Valley, home to several state parks, campgrounds and retreats, offers a variety of activities centered on experiencing the lush natural environment and magnificent scenery. From camping or backpacking to fishing or birdwatching, the options are endless. Intriguing trails and scenic vistas entice horseback riders, bicyclists and hikers to explore the terrain, and the Suwannee Bicycle Association hosts several bicycling events in the area. Meanwhile, an innovative trend is developing as North Central Florida's increasing number of agritourism opportunities lure fascinated guests to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the harvesting of crops and gain insight about the inner workings of local dairies, tree nurseries and farm markets.

Hunters and fishermen flock here from around the nation, having heard rave reviews of our renowned plantations and preserves - where the thrill of spotting a variety of rare and exotic species is augmented by first-class facilities, Southern hospitality and fine lodging accommodations. Sportsmanship thrives in all areas, extending to the courts and the greens as golfing and racquet enthusiasts enjoy various country clubs and driving ranges.

If you prefer to cheer in the stands rather than participate, spectator sports offer excitement, too, from seasonal auto racing to local baseball and softball tournaments. And the Florida Sports Hall of Fame in Lake City encourages sports fans to explore special exhibits and interactive displays. With active, outdoor attractions as well as relaxing natural ventures, visitors to Florida's Suwannee River Valley fill their vacation days with a multitude of colorful activities.
