The WWALS map of the Suwannee River Water Trail runs from the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia to the Gulf of Mexico, including the Santa Fe, Ichetucknee, and New Rivers.

See WWALS SRWT interactive map and access points.

For the Okefenokee Swamp, our main references are here: Okefenokee Wilderness Area Canoe Trails.

Florida’s Suwannee River Wilderness Trail from White Springs to the Gulf existed before WWALS, and we constantly draw on its materials, in communication with its organizers, as well as many other sources, including direct research, upstream and downstream all the way to the Gulf. We have paper maps of the Wilderness Trail at our booth at festivals and events. Or you can get them at SRWMD HQ in Live Oak. Or try calling their contact number: 800-868-9914.

Where the Wilderness Trail maps specify a milepoint for a landing on the Suwannee or Santa Fe Rivers, the WWALS SRWT maps usually use that mile, since those miles have been published for many years. Other points on the SRWT maps are interpolated according to USGS river tracks and other information.

See also the FDEP Paddling Guides of Florida Designated Paddling Trails for the Santa Fe River, the Ichetucknee River, the Withlacoochee River North. These guides oddly have miles from upstream to downstream. They’re also only even miles, so not precise enough to factor into the WWALS maps.

For the Estuary, see the Big Bend Saltwater Paddling Trail, which is part of the Florida Circumnavitational Saltwater Paddling Trail (CT). In the specific maps and text for Segment 6: Big Bend, see:

• Map 6: Horseshoe Beach to Shired Island County Campground
• Map 7: Anderson Landing
• Map 8: Shell Mound Campground and Cedar Key City Beach Park

Many of the items from these CT maps and references are in the WWALS SRWT Access page under Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail, with CT miles and distances between them. More CT items are in the WWALS SRWT Categories and Points web pages. The WWALS SRWT map also includes other Estuary access points that are not in the CT maps.

Also for the Estuary, see Dixie County’s Paddling Maps and trails overviews by Friends of the Lower Suwannee & Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuges.
